Wilson's car was apparently out of control after being hit by debris from another car that crashed in front of him and veered into the inside wall at the Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania.

The 37-year-old former Formula One driver has won seven races in IndyCar.

Wilson's Andretti Autosport team mate Ryan Hunter-Reay went on to win the 500-mile (804.67 km) race.
