Dan Wheldon was a charismatic Englishman who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2005 and 2011. He took a gamble at the age of 19 and moved to the United States to further his career, and quickly found success in “stepping-stone” series, progressing rapidly. Between 2002 and 2011, Wheldon had 128 starts in IndyCar races and won 16, including the 2005 race in which he reclaimed the lead from Danica Patrick on Lap 194 and outlasted a charging Vitor Meira. His Hollywood-like win at the 100th Anniversary “500” in 2011, in which rookie driver J.R. Hildebrand hit the wall exiting Turn 4 on the final lap, allowing Wheldon to narrowly beat Hildebrand's wounded car to the finish line, was one of the most improbable, emotional victories in racing history. Wheldon finished second to Tony Kanaan for the 2004 IndyCar title, won it in 2005, and tied Sam Hornish Jr. in points for 2006 but lost the championship on a tiebreaker. Earlier that year, Wheldon won the Rolex 24-Hours at Daytona with teammates Scott Dixon and Casey Mears. Wheldon's record at IMS was stellar: In addition to two wins, Wheldon finished third in 2004, fourth in 2006 (after leading 148 laps) and was runner-up in 2009 and 2010. Tragically, he lost his life in a multi-car accident at Las Vegas on October 16, 2011.

Khargone, India
A tragic accident occurred today in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh where an elderly person died. An old man crossing the road was crushed by a truck.
67-year-old Vijay Sharma died tragically in a heart-wrenching road accident on Wednesday morning at the traffic signal located at Gayatri Mandir Tirahe, the busiest in the city.
The elderly were crossing the road in front of Gayatri Temple in the morning. He was walking on the road looking left and right. Meanwhile, the truck standing at the signal suddenly started moving and hit the old man. CCTV footage of this accident is also going viral, in which the truck is seen crushing an elderly person. During this time it was also seen that the driver of the truck was focused on his mobile phone so he did not see the old man.
According to the information received, Vijay Sharma, resident of Vallabh Nagar, had gone out to visit the temple in the morning. During this time he became victim of a road accident. Originally a resident of Rajpur in Barwani district, he was unmarried, and was living with his younger brother in Khargone for the last 25 years. According to family members, Sharma had left in the morning to attend the havan being held at Gayatri temple.
It is seen in the video footage that they were crossing the road outside the temple. During this time, he kept wandering on the road for some time as the truck was standing at the signal. Then they started passing in front of the truck, during which the truck also started moving and the truck driver moved ahead, hitting Sharma. The wheel of the truck passed through Sharma's leg, after which he was taken to the district hospital in critical condition, where doctors declared him dead. After the PM, the police handed over the body to the family members.
