33 yrs old, two sons. So sad. RT @nancygay ABC Sports confirms Dan Wheldon has died from injuries sustained at race in Las Vegas.

Reading on twitter about the passing of IndyCar racer Dan Wheldon is extremely sobering and a reminder that life is too short already...

The crash was insane. His car went airborne and the cockpit went straight into the safety fence. Car light up on fire almost immediately as he hit.
