This past weekend marked the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 - one of the world's most famous and infamous race events. Indy racers battled it out on a blisteringly hot day, fighting for the checkered flag and a $2.75 million dollar cash prize.

Honda racing was in rare form at this event. And by the final lap of Indy 500, every eye was on the Mike Conway and his Honda Dallara car - but for all the wrong reasons.

During the race's final lap, turn 3 was witness to an amazing crash. Ryan Hunter-Reay's car suddenly slowed, apparently out of fuel. Mike Conway in his Honda Dallara, following close behind, was unable to avoid contact with Hunter-Reay's left rear wheel. This sent Conway flipping into the side wall safety barriers!

Fans jumped up and leapt for cover, but no debris was reported in the audience section. Conway's Honda flipped twice, with pieces of the car raining down onto the Indianapolis track, before sliding on its side to a halt.

Miraculously, Conway will only be out of action for around three months as he recovers from back injury and fractures to his left leg. No other racers were reported injured.

If Honda can make a race car without a roof that safe, imagine how good their cars that actually have completed chassis and windows are when it comes to an collision!

Another Honda car, driven by Dario Franchitti (#10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) took home the checkered flag and cash prize!
