Robert Wickens has been traওnsferred to a hospital close to his Indianapolis home as he continues his ꦰrecovery from injuries he sustained in a huge IndyCar crash.

Wickens broke his right arm, both legs and suffered an injury to his spine in the violent crash. He was confirmed to be br🃏eathing unassisted and talking to his family last week and has since been moved to a hospital closer to his hoܫme, where the Canadian is set to undergo an operation on his "lower extremities". 

"Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver Robert Wickens𓄧 was transferred to IU Health Methodist Hospital on Thursday August 30 to continue treatment in his home of Indianapolis," a team statement from SPM read.
