Barcelona: Formula One driver Heikki Kovalainen was taken to the hospital after a high-speed crash at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday.
McLaren officials said Kovalainen was in stable condition with no visible signs of injury but gave no further details. A helicopter took the Finn to a local Barcelona hospital.
Kovalainen's front left tyre exploded and he crashed into a wall of tires on a bend during the 22nd lap. Race stewards worked for around 10 minutes to free Kovalainen, who was initially taken to the track's medical center wearing a neck brace. Kovalainen gave a thumbs-up sign to spectators.
Nearly the entire front end of Kovalainen's car was missing after the crash.
