No One Seriously Injured as Gas Tank Explodes, Causes Huge Fireball in Race

It's as fortunate as it is amazing that no one was seriously injured here.

During a Moto2 race in Spain on Sunday, one rider, Xavier Cardelus, spun off his bike, which rolled into the middle of the track.

As the other competitors swerved around it, one ran over the gas tank, triggering a massive explosion that looked like it was straight out of a TV show.

According to Fox Sports' Samuel Reiman (via the Daily Telegraph), the race eventually restarted, but Cardelus was unable to continue since his bike was ruined.
