The cars came together with a crash and caromed to the outer edge of the course into the fence, a long section of which was torn loose. They then rolled toward the Infield. Both cars were demolished. Chevrolet was killed Instantly. John Bresnahan, his mechanician, miraculously escaped with Injuries that subsequently proved to be slight.
