Marco Andretti and Mario Moraes became to two first outers of the Indy 500's first lap.
According to AP the Indy 500 had barely started when Mario Moraes drifted to the outside and made contact with Marco Andretti, sending both cars into the wall going into the second turn.
Graham Rahal, son of former Indy winner Bobby Rahal, crashed on the 56th lap. He started fourth and was running fifth when his car went high coming out of the fourth turn and hit the wall. He was not injured.
As SI.com reports "Tony Kanaan just slammed hard into the third turn wall on the 99th lap of Sunday's 93rd Indianapolis 500. Kanaan, the best driver in the field who has yet to win the world's biggest race, hit the backstretch wall, then slid across the north short chute and crashed hard into the outside wall in Turn 3. "Oh my God, I hope he's OK," Andretti Green Racing teammate Danica Patrick radioed to her crew."
