Trauma patient delivers green flag to IMS start line

Trauma patient delivers green flag to IMS start line

It took IU Health LifeLine crews two hours to pull Hannah Long from her mangled car after another vehicle crashed into her last summer. For race day this year, to honor her hard-fought battle back from injury, LifeLine invited Hannah to escort the Indianapolis 500's green flag to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's iconic start/finish line. "Being a hoosier in a race family, growing up around it, watching the race every year, I couldn't say no."
