Robert W.Bean was driving a Studebaker stock car at around 50 mph when his car suddenly swerved to the right. He attempted to correct the car, but it swung around and shot off course, throwing mechanician Otto E.Manglitz from the car as it turned over, and crushing Bean on landing. Harry Ball was practicing at the same time in an Apperson Jackrabbit, and when he hit the same spot as Bean his car too swerved off the track, but in the opposite direction. His car left the ground, throwing mechanician Lee Bert Roberts and the driver from the car. The races were run by the Denver Motor Club. |
