Speedway Tragedy Probed After Scaffold Collapse Kills Two
An angry group of officials opened an investigation into the slow motion scaffold crash at Indianapolis Motor Speedway that killed Fred H. Linder and William Craig and injured 32. Coroner Roy B. Storms blamed the track management for ignoring protests against makeshift infield towers used for Memorial Day. Indiana Attorney General Edwin K. Steers said a safety check will be considered for the privately owned track. The 3 1/2 foot aluminum tower jammed with as many as 130 spectators toppled as crowds leaned forward to view pre race activities. Tickets ranged from 5 to 10 dollars. Speedway officials say private owners have long hauled in towers with little inspection beyond looking safe.
