Pro Mazda driver Harrison Scott is reportedly doing well after he went airborne during a practice race ahead of Sunday’s Honda Indy in Toronto.

The Essex, England, product got squeezed going through the corner at Turn 3 before being bumped by another driver, clipping the wall, and barreling through the air before coming to a halt on the track’s run-off area.

Despite being shaken up, Scott spoke after the crash and explained that the front wheels of his car were already soaring off the the track by the time he reacted to the situation.

“(Serravalle) had a run on me and he moved to the outside going into Turn 3, but as he did, he squeezed me into the inside wall,” Scott told the IndyStar.

“As he did, I still had half a car to the inside of him, and I couldn’t really back out. And he carried on, carried on squeezing me, and there was no gap.

“I hit the wall, hit his car and after that I was kind out of control. I went over the back of his car then remember seeing a flash of yellow. I remember running off and at that point, I was facing the ground and I remember coming down on my head first and coming to rest at the tire wall.”

Scott climbed out of the vehicle under his own power and, miraculously, suffered only a few scratches and a scrape to his hand. He’s yet to be medically cleared by IndyCar but expects to be ready to go for Sunday’s main event.
