RESTART - 15 to go: Dixon sweeps around Montoya into Turn 1 for second, but Montoya gets it back into Turn 2!
Order: Power, Montoya, Dixon, Munoz, Kimball, Wilson, Newgarden, Castroneves, Rahal, Andretti (top 10).
The track is clear of safety trucks now, restart next time by.
Castroneves has been warned for blocking on the previous restart. He'll have to behave himself when we next go green - this late in the race nobody wants to give an inch.
Hawksworth and Coletti have been released from the medical centre - they're fine after that big crash.
Pagenaud pits for front wing repairs. Quite how everyone avoided him when he slowed in Turn 2 was incredible, just before that crash at Turn 4 brought out the latest yellow.
Saavedra's car is now being towed away, let's hope we get a restart soon. 18 laps to go.
Word from the paddock is that the second DCR crew member who was hit by Davison has been taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation of an ankle injury.
It's been shaping up as Penske vs Scott Dixon - although Penske has lost one of its troops in Pagenaud. Dixon is flying the Ganassi flag in this battle of the IndyCar powerhouses.
Still plenty of work required at Turn 4. Not only does Saavedra's car need removing, but there is a lot of debris from that three-car shunt that needs cleaning up before we can get on with the sprint to the chequered flag.
Saavedra has been extricated from his car, which is now being towed away. The marshals had to cut his boot off.
These extra laps under yellow should remove any need for fuel management from the leaders, who all came in under the last caution.
Saavedra is moving around in his car, but he seems to need some help from the marshals.
Before that yellow, Pagenaud's front wing problem had allowed Power, Montoya and Dixon to get a big break ahead of the rest of the field.
Looks like Hawksworth tapped Saavedra into Turn 4, spinning them both, and Coletti then collected Saavedra with a big hit after the first two cars had bounced off the wall.
Hawksworth is out of the car under his own steam, and waving to the crowd. Track workers are now dealing with Saavedra, who had a second impact with the inside wall. Coletti has hobbled out of his car on his own.
Saavedra, Coletti, and Hawksworth all got caught up and smashed into the wall.
Yellow flag
Big crash off Turn 4. Yellow again.
Pagenaud slows between Turns 1/2, he's got a broken front wing and it's bunched the rest of the field up.
Pagenaud is next to pick off Wilson, hoping to prevent the top three making too much of a break.
Green flag
Power and Montoya make short work of Wilson and Munoz after the restart, and here comes Dixon as well.
