#3 Vukovich's Fatal crash- Indianapolis 1955

The two times racing champion was all set to clinch another win at 1955 Indy 500 but something unimaginable happened. Roger Ward lost control over his car due to a broken axle and Keller pulled handbrake to avoid the crash but he bumped into Boyd's car who had a furious skid between walls and Ward's car and ultimately landed on the path of Vukovich. The skilled driver could not avoid the crash and his car tumbled outside the wall and toppled end over end before it came to an abrupt stop. The 36-year-old racing sensation died on the spot.
