Florida’s Locomobile Crashes into the Crowd
Running in third place behind Robertson and Lytle, Joe Florida, driver of the #1 Locomobile, did not get word to stop and plunged his car into the throng at the start-finish line. Note the smoke at the scene of the accident. Florida struck and injured an 18-year-old boy and then hit a touring car. Fortunately, none of the occupants of the touring car were injured and the boy recovered.
