VIDEO: Louis Foster triggers red flag in Detroit GP with late, vicious crash – dramatic rescue

Screenshot

In a terrifying moment that sent shockwaves through the IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix, Louis Foster and Felix Rosenqvist were involved in a brutal collision just 17 laps from the finish — a dramatic incident that brought the race to a grinding halt.

Foster, running mid-pack and battling through the bumpy confines of the downtown Detroit circuit, suffered a sudden suspension failure that launched him violently into the outside wall. Unable to steer or decelerate properly, Foster’s car ricocheted back onto the racing line — directly into the path of a fast-charging Rosenqvist.

The result: a high-speed T-bone impact, with Rosenqvist’s car slamming into the tire barrier and Foster’s machine careening into the runoff area. Both cars were destroyed in the collision.

🚑 Medical Response and Driver Status

Despite the harrowing visuals, both drivers were conscious and responsive, immediately confirming their condition via team radio. Foster climbed out of his car under his own power, albeit visibly shaken. Rosenqvist, however, reported pain in his leg and was transported by stretcher to the medical center for further evaluation. IndyCar has since confirmed he was alert and communicating during transport.


🗣️ Foster Reacts: “It’s Not Safe Out There”

Clearly emotional and frustrated, Foster pointed to the track’s brutal surface as the culprit behind the crash:

“It’s absolutely insane how bumpy it is out there. I hit a section and the car just gave out. I had no control. I’m just thankful Felix is okay — it could’ve been so much worse.”

The crash reignited conversations about driver safety and the limits of street circuits, especially those with aggressive surface conditions like Detroit.


🛑 Red Flag and Race Suspension

Race officials immediately deployed the red flag with 13 laps to go. The clean-up required extensive attention due to the location of the wreck and debris field. Safety crews worked to repair the barrier, retrieve the damaged cars, and inspect the track surface before allowing the race to resume.


💬 Rosenqvist’s Team Statement

“Felix is being evaluated for lower limb discomfort. He was alert, aware, and talking with us before being taken to the medical center. We’ll provide updates as soon as possible.”

Rosenqvist, a veteran in the series and a fan favorite, had been putting together a strong weekend before the crash ended his day violently.


🚨 A Chilling Reminder

This crash serves as a sobering reminder of the fine line between speed and disaster in IndyCar racing. Both Foster and Rosenqvist were fortunate to avoid serious injury — a testament to the advancements in car safety and the rapid response of IndyCar’s medical teams.


Motorsport is thrilling — but today in Detroit, it was terrifying. Thankfully, thanks to brave engineering and quicker reflexes, both drivers are still standing. 🏁🇺🇸💥
