One of the 28 people hurt in the crash and pile up at the
Daytona International Speedway over the weekend is from North Texas.
Eddie Huckaby from Krum was injured when driver Kyle Larson's
car went airborne and crashed through the fence that separates the spectators
from the action on the track. Larson's
car then burst into flames.
When it was all over, Huckaby had a piece of metal lodged
into his leg, described by his brother Terry as being approximately 3 feet
long, 18 inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick.
Terry quickly reacted and used his belt as a tourniquet,
wrapping it around his brother's leg.
Despite the crash, the Huckaby brothers say they're still
race fans. Eddie Huckaby's biggest
disappointment was that he would miss the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
