Dan Wheldon Killed in Crash 17 October 2011
British IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon has died following a massive accident at the Las Vegas Indy 300.The Buckinghamshire-born star, 33, was one of 15 drivers involved in a crash at the second corner on lap 13 of the season-ending race.Wheldon, who began IndyCar racing in 2002, was series champion in 2005 and won the Indy 500 in 2005 and 2011.Lewis Hamilton, 2008 Formula 1 world champion, said: "This is a tragic loss at such a young age." He added: "He was an extremely talented driver. As a British guy, who not only went over to the States but who twice won the Indy 500, he was an inspirational guy and someone that every racing driver looked up to with respect and admiration. "My heart goes out to his family and friends during this extremely difficult time."
The accident at the oval-shaped Las Vegas track happened when a number of cars came into contact on turn two, sending several of them airborne, smashing into the outside wall and catch fence. The cars were traveling at speeds of over 200mph. With cars burning and debris littering the track, the race was red-flagged. It was the first-ever death at the circuit in its 40-year history.Wheldon was airlifted to the nearby University Medical Center where he was joined by his family - including his wife Susie and two young sons Sebastian and Oliver - but his death was announced to his fellow drivers in a meeting back at the track. Wheldon had started the race at the back of the field and had made up 10 places in the first 12 laps before the crash.
Dan Wheldon was born 22 June 1978, Emberton, Buckinghamshire, U.K. Time not known so noon used.His chart shows a Mercury - Jupiter conjunction square to Pluto but trine to Uranus and indicates his obsessive interest with speed, taking risks and pushing himself, always trying to go faster. It also indicates the large amounts of money involved.Venus is in Leo (conjunct the Mercury/Mars midpoint ) and squares both Uranus in Scorpio and Chiron in Taurus, making a t-square. This suggests the conflict the love for his sport may have created in his personal relationships. Married and with two small children this is likely to have been an issue at times.Mars at 4-37' degrees of Virgo squared the Sun/Chiron midpoint at 4-37'degrees Gemini and can be an indication of accidents and injuries.The Mars/Saturn midpoint is at 00-31' degrees Virgo. Yesterday, the day of the crash, transiting Chiron was opposite at 00-56' degrees Pisces and transiting Pluto at 05-07' degrees of Capricorn opposed his Sun/Mercury midpoint at 05-25' of Cancer, while Uranus opposed the Moon's Node at 1-44' degrees of Aries. Jupiter at 6-49' degrees of Taurus opposed Mercury at 6-23' Scorpio and both squared his natal Venus at 7-16' of Leo. These transits combined can be interpreted as indicating injuries or death resulting from an accident in which speed was excessive and control was lost. L.S.
IndyCar chief executive Randy Bernard said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."Formula 1 driver Jenson Button wrote on Twitter: "Just woken up to the most horrific news. Dan Wheldon RIP."He tweeted: "I have so many good memories of racing with Dan in the early 90s, a true fighter. We've lost a legend in our sport but also a great guy."Red Bull driver Mark Webber tweeted: "Rest in Peace Dan. I remember our early days in the UK 95/96.. Miss ya.." (BBC Sport News)
