Clay Regazzoni Killed In Road Accident
Regazzoni killed in a road crash
Former Grand Prix driver Clay Regazzoni was killed in a car crash in Italy today. He was 67 years old.
The Swiss driver is reported to have collided head on with a truck on the A1 Motorway near Parma, while driving a Chrysler Voyager.
Regazzoni won five races during a career that spanned from the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix to the 1980 United States West Grand Prix in Long Beach, where he suffered spinal injuries in a big accident.
That crash brought an end to his F1 career, but he was still determined to carry on with motor sports.
He competed in the Paris-Dakar Rally in the 1980s and used a hand-controlled sportscar in some events. He also commentated on F1 for Italian TV.

Very sad news. I remember when I left him a birthday message on his homepage six years ago.
