British Fatalities Analysis

It has to be.

Tony O'Donnell crashed on December 6, 1975, and died at the end of the month without regaining consciousness.

Blimey that must have only been a very short time after Gary Peterson's fatal night at Wolverhampton

Nigel Wasley sometimes never mentioned but never forgotten died after a crash at Station Road.

Again, this is one of those freak occurrences. Nigel didn't die as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, but from a blood clot that was likely to have been caused from being in bed.

Neal Watson was also killed at King's Lynn in 1984.

 

Sorry, I thought there was a fourth victim. Thanks for putting me right.

I was riding at Coventry the day that Tony was killed.

I believe Tony was the only rider to lose his life at Coventry.

Sorry, haven't looked at site again till tonight. Yes, 1975 would be right, didn't remember the name but will always remember those first few moments when we got to him. Nothing I could do except follow the instructions of the St John's guys, who were literally seconds behind me, as it was immediately obvious that it was extremely serious. Very, very sad day.
