Former Indianapolis 500 Winner Frank Lockhart Killed in Crash (1928) | Sporting History

Frank Lockhart was an American automobile racing driver, and Indianapolis 500 winner, and considered a legend in the sport by many historians. On April 25, 1928, Lockhart's Stutz Black Hawk Special streamliner reached 198.29 mph (319.1 km/h) on a warmup run on Daytona Beach, Florida. On Lockhart's return pass the Black Hawk Special cut a tire (probably on a seashell), went out of control and tumbled violently across the sand, throwing Lockhart from the car and killing him instantly. The film shows the moment it happened.
