The camera angle is deceiving on the video, the marshall waving the green flag was correct in doing so as it was past the accident and you can't crash back the way.

All the drivers should/would have been notified about the tractor on track and should have acted accordingly. They also have a responsibility for safety not just the marshalls.

For me the speed of the accident indicates a failure of some sort.

I can see a nascar style full course yellow/safety car style being enforced now as this is the only real way to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Hope this is a piss take:

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is one of the most common and devastating types of traumatic brain injury,[1] meaning that damage occurs over a more widespread area than in focal brain injury. DAI, which refers to extensive lesions in white matter tracts, is one of the major causes of unconsciousness and persistent vegetative state after head trauma.[2] It occurs in about half of all cases of severe head trauma.

The outcome is frequently coma, with over 90% of patients with severe DAI never regaining consciousness.[2] Those who do wake up often remain significantly impaired.[3]

Other authors state that DAI can occur in every degree of severity from (very) mild or moderate to (very) severe.[4][5] Concussion may be a milder type of diffuse axonal injury
