Le Mans 55

On June 11, 1955, the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race turned into a tragedy when Mercedes No. 20 car driven by Frenchman Pierre Levegh collided with an Austin Healey car and flew into the crowded stands, killing 82 people and injuring more than 120. Despite this accident, the race continued without the German team, which left the competition, and ended the next day with a bitter victory for Jaguar.
