Local yellow guys, you show caution to the emergency vehicles (2 stations will show a white flag letting you know). You still race though, and this is a decision by the steward for that race - racers prefer this, so that you can get more race time vs a full course yellow, and you lose race time. The decision is based on the accident. If there was track blockage, or the accident clean up was very dangerous (ie, close to the track), then maybe a full course caution is put out. Based on the video showing a full lap, and not noticing the accident, it looks like a good call.
FYI, the e-crew and corner workers are trained to do this as well (it is actually kind of an adrenaline rush for them as well; I have been a course worker for 15 years.)
