VSBfromH 74 Posted May 26, 2011 Harry Chapin I believe. His death is any early example of American's weird litigation culture: "Near exit 40 in Jericho he put on his emergency flashers, presumably because of either a mechanical or medical problem (possibly a heart attack). He then slowed to about 15 miles (24 km) per hour and veered into the center lane, nearly colliding with another car. He swerved left, then to the right again, ending up directly in the path of a tractor-trailer truck. The truck could not brake in time and rammed the rear of Chapin's blue 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit, rupturing the fuel tank by climbing its back and causing it to burst into flames ... Even though Chapin was driving without a license, his driver's license having previously been revoked for a long string of traffic violations, his widow Sandy won a $12 million decision in a negligence lawsuit against Supermarkets General, the owners of the truck".

time 8,484 Posted August 13, 2022 Roger E Mosley, Rudi Koertzen & Anne Heche. I expect there's been a few more in the 11 years the thread's been dormant (that mathematician feller & his missus, for example).. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect there's been a few more in the 11 years the thread's been dormant (that mathematician feller & his missus, for example).. Let me think here. Paul Walker disintegrated with his Porsche back in 2013 after a high-speed crash. Baseball player Oscar Taveras lost control of his Chevy Camaro on a highway and died in 2014. Not quite a celebrity but there was that Youtube star who used his McLaren as a method of suicide back in 2018. I know there's more but I'm only doing the ones who crashed in fast cars.

I suggest you read the first post of this thread. The first person mentioned is "The peoples Princess", who, if I'm not mistaken, was a PASSENGER. The second person mentioned is Jayne Mansfield, who, if I'm not mistaken, was a PASSENGER. The third person mentioned is Eddie Cochrane, who, if I'm not mistaken, was a PASSENGER. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
