On Tuesday afternoon, Glidden was participating in a testing session in his 2010 Mustang when media sources in the area report that he encountered severe tire shake around 80 feet off the starting line. The veteran driver lost control of his Pro Modified Mustang and drove it straight into both retaining walls before coming to a rest.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LnRcorWbu80\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Following the crash, Glidden was knocked unconscious for a brief time. After being cut from his car, Glidden became alert and began to complain of back pain, but continued to move his arms and feet, during his transport to a local hospital.
