EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the aftermath of the first fatal accident at the Brooklands racing track in Surrey, England, which occurred on February 19, 1907. The tragic event took place during a motor race, and the photo shows the scene immediately following the overturning of Mr. Vincent Herman's Minerva car. Mr. Herman, who is also known as Hermon in some sources, lost his life in the accident, while his mechanic sustained injuries. The early 1900s motor racing scene was known for its danger and excitement, with races often taking place on makeshift tracks and vehicles lacking the safety features that are standard today. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the risks that early motor racing drivers and their support teams took in pursuit of speed and competition. The image, taken shortly after the accident, shows the devastating consequences of these risks, with the overturned car and debris scattered across the track. The tragic incident marked a turning point in the history of motor racing at Brooklands, leading to increased safety measures and regulations to protect drivers and mechanics.
