Nascar driver Josh Berry suffers terrifying crash as his car flips upside down and smashes into fence at Daytona
NASCAR driver Josh Berry suffered a horrifying crash at the Coke Sugar Zero 400.
The 33-year-old’s car flipped off the track before hitting a fence at Daytona International Speedway in Florida.
Berry was on his way to finish on the podium on Saturday night before the accident occurred with just two laps to go.
His No. 4 Ford car was behind Austin Cindric’s No. 2 at the time.
A clip from NBC’s X account displayed Berry’s car going off the track after being touched by Cindric’s car.
Berry’s car turned over and slammed into the wall, spinning around numerous times on its roof before stopping.
He was even trapped for a while in the car after the sequence.
Fortunately, Berry gave a thumbs-up to the crowd after he got out of his vehicle.
It was revealed by NASCAR‘s official X account that Berry was “evaluated and released from the infield care center.”
After the crash, Cindric, meanwhile, was able to increase his lead.
Harrison Button ended up being the winner of this weekend’s race.
Legend Kyle Busch finished second and Christopher Bell came in third.
Cindric placed 18th out of 40 drivers in the competition.
Some NASCAR fans weren’t pleased with Cindric’s bump on Berry on social media.
“Cindric is a joke for that,” one commented.
“Cindric is lucky he didn’t flip either,” another wrote.
“Cindric should be suspended. For Life. No talent,” a third posted.
Berry told NBC he was “all good” and that the accident “probably wasn’t as bad as it looked.”
His crash came after Austin Dillon hit Joey Logano during the final lap at Richmond Raceway earlier this month.
Dillon ended up winning the race, his first victory in two years.
Logano called him a “piece of crap” after the race.
