I thought Paul was the one driving the 2nd car and ran into the car that had already crashed and stopped.  
Still, not a good thing, and an awful way to go.
I used to work on the Medical Staff (for the spectators, not on the track) at Indianapolis Motor Speedway during May and I know even back in the late 80's when I was doing it how much safety was engineered in to the noses of those cars. For the driver to have lost his legs as reported above means that the impact had to be tremendous (as it looked to be).
