Cycling while drinking

One week later he died in a one-car crash on September 30, 1955 in his Porsche 550 Spyder while his passenger, Rolf Wütherich survived but later crashed fatally in Germany in 1981. I thought he hit another car, IIRC. http://members.aol.com/jaydeebee1/memorial.html that recount of the events says they collided while the story I got was through evasive maneuvers Dean's car went end-over-end off the road. Wütherich was throne out and Dean got smashed as the car rolled. It makes little difference, the upshot is we lost a great man. I had a similar incident approaching Garmisch in a silver Porsche, where an oncoming car made a left turn on a Y-intersection causing me to divert off-road into an adjoining wet grassy field, at the end of which was an earthen railroad causeway. I was able to do a slalom turn onto the embankment, jump the drainage ditch and land back on the road under the RR bridge with only a minor dent in the right rocker panel. Fortunately there was no other traffic. It was a similar case where the oncoming car did not assess time and motion of the approaching car. Jobst Brandt |

Well, yes, but perhaps his words about a week later were more pertinent: "He's got to see us" I believe, in my driving test, "relying on others for safety" was an 8-point demerit. One week later he died in a one-car crash on September 30, 1955 in his Porsche 550 Spyder while his passenger, Rolf Wütherich survived but later crashed fatally in Germany in 1981. Jobst Brandt So Jobst, is it true that the car, "Lil *******," went on to kill and maim a string of others who came in contact with it?
