Late Race Drivery Tragedy Claims Van Johnson at Williams Grove
Veteran Pittsburgh driver Van Johnson was killed during a feature race at Williams Grove Speedway when his Vargo special was rammed by Barada of New Jersey. Johnson’s car flipped and skidded, his wife Sanna across the field to him as he died of a skull fracture. Eddie Behe of Center Valley finished second, with several Indianapolis area drivers among the top finishers. Johnson, long active in regional circuits, had previously driven to victory in the Langhorne International Championship and had recently moved from Allentown to Norristown before returning to Pittsburgh racing with Ed Law. Funeral services were planned for Norristown.
