From what I hear on the Norcal board, he was knocked out and a front wheel was bent or broken causing the jamb. There were kill switches both inside and outside the car but obviously approaching a car that violent isn't going to happen. Very sad, but at least he's alive.

If that front wheel didn't lock it could've been a real bad deal. Imagine if it headed for the starting line!
