Well, that certainly sucks! Hope he only has no serious injuries, although if indeed they were performing CPR, that’s not good. Hopes and prayers for this person and their family.
Praying for the person who needed medical attention ? to have a speedy recovery.
Praying that the crew member recovers fully. The garage and put areas can be pretty hectic. I remember my first time in the pit at Thompson and Stafford was eye opening. Cars move through there faster than you think and you can’t be lollygagging around there. Pit crew members know that and are used to it for the most part.
