[@jeffarndt2563]

Wow! AYRTON SENNA Probably the most famous person ever to die in a car crash outside of Princess Diana and he's not on this list???? This must be a rough draft😂

[@louellacentina89]

I like your music background it's like a kind of celebrating thier lives that was cut unexpected. Thank you DATA CHANNEL hoping to view some more , you're the best!

[@DC-dk7rx]

This just goes to show that a car wheel in the wrong hands is extremely dangerous. This isn't Mario Kart, Need For Speed, F1 or any of those racing games, this is real life. One mistake or distraction on the road while driving can cause a serious and fatal accident (and there's no respawning). Not to mention it can have serious impact on the crash victims' friends, families & everyone else around them. They can be met with strong feelings such anxiety, fear, sadness, guilt, anger, vulnerability, helplessness or hopelessness. And it'll not only apply to those events, but countless other previously normal areas of life as well. DRIVE SAFELY.

[@FH99]

You had some race car drivers who died in auto racing accidents but you also forgot some big names, besides Ayrton Senna. You also forgot former Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon, NHRA Champion Scott Kalitta, rising NASCAR star, Adam Petty, former NASCAR champion, Joe Weatherly and top NASCAR driver of the 1950's and 60's Fireball Roberts, among a number of others.

[@julianrangel7835]

Tony Roper Kenny irvin Adam Petty

[@raysmith128]

I know a few of them, but Randy Savage did not die from a car accident he had a heart attack that caused the car accident

[@JamesBond-xj4uj]

Savage and his wife had been wearing seatbelts. She suffered only minor physical injuries in the crash.[141] An autopsy performed by the medical examiner's office found that he had an enlarged heart and advanced coronary artery disease (more than 90% narrowed) which had resulted in a sudden heart attack

[@barbaracataldo566]

From all of the comments it just goes to show you could have done an hour long video of well known people who died in car accidents. What fascinated me were the two early deaths. Ernest Chausson (1899) and Pierre Curie (1906) husband of Marie Curie. Even back then driving could be dangerous. 😮

[@TheNei]

Airton Senna? - Gracie Kelly=Beaufitul

[@Son_of_Aragorn]

Christopher Michael Oliva (April 3, 1963 - October 17, 1993) was an American musician who was the lead guitarist and co-founder of the heavy metal band Savatage. During his lifetime, he released seven studio albums and one EP with the band.

[@Son_of_Aragorn]

On October 17, 1993, at around 3:30 a.m., Oliva and his wife Dawn were driving north on Highway 301 on their way to the Fourth Annual Livestock Festival held in Zephyrhills, Florida, just north of Tampa. An oncoming car operated by a drunk driver crossed the median and struck Oliva's 1992 Mazda RX-7 head-on. Dawn survived the crash, but Oliva was killed instantly. The drunk driver, who had seven prior drunk driving (DUI) convictions, survived with minor injuries and was later found guilty of DUI manslaughter, DUI serious injury and vehicular homicide, and served 18 months in prison of a five-year sentence.
