Surgery for injured driver

MOTORSPORT SEBASTIEN Bourdais had surgery yesterday to repair a fractured pelvis suffered in a fiery crash during Indianapolis 500 qualifying.

The Indiana University Methodist Hospital said he had fractures in his pelvis and a fractured right hip.

Bourdais, 38, was injured when his car wiggled in the second turn, slid up the track and slammed head-on into the second turn wall.

The car then flipped, with flames and smoke billowing out, before skidding to a stop in the back straight.
