ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- Champ Car driver Cristiano da Matta needed surgery to remove a ruptured blood vessel in his head after his race car collided with a deer that wandered onto the track during a test session at Road America on Thursday.

Da Matta was unconscious when he was airlifted to Theda Clark Memorial Hospital in Neenah after the crash, and remained unconscious as of Thursday night, Champ Car series spokesman Steve Shunck said.

I am not a big fan of racing but I am familiar with it. I hope Cristiano gets better soon and recovers fully... terrible accident.
