The 22 year-old IndyCar Series debutant was on course for a solid finish for Rahal Letterman Racing until she was caught up in the lap 159 pileup that eliminated no less than eight of the 22 starters.
After clipping the machine of Ed Carpenter and then cannoning into the outside wall along the back straight of the 1.5-mile Homestead-Miami Speedway, Patrick was visibly dazed as she exited her crumpled machine and was taken to the infield medical centre.
After being diagnosed with a concussion by IndyCar Series medical staff, Patrick was transferred to a local hospital for further checks before being released later on Sunday evening.
Patrick will now return to her Phoenix base and prepare for the March 19th trip to Phoenix.
