Guidizzolo Tragedy
The road between
De Portago's 4.0-litre Ferrari 335 S blew a tyre and crashed into the roadside crowd travelling at 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph). The crash killed the driver, the co-driver and nine spectators, including five children. Spinning out of control, the Ferrari hit a channel on the left side of the road, then veered back into the onlookers. Two of the dead children were hit by a concrete highway milestone that was ripped from the ground by the car and thrown into the crowd. The body of de Portago was in two sections, and co-driver Edmund Nelson was badly disfigured beneath the upside down vehicle.[3]
Enzo Ferrari was charged with manslaughter in a criminal prosecution that was finally dismissed in 1961.
