Hello everyone! Watch my new video BeamNG Drive - James Dean Car Crash Simulation.
Good Channel - / @digital-drive
On September 30, 1955, James Dean, at the height of his acting career, tragically died in a car crash. This accident still raises many questions and concerns.
The student did not miss James Dean's Porsche spyder 550 and hit him in the front left fender of the car.
I tried to simulate James Dean's car crash in BeamNG Drive.
Thanks to everyone who liked and subscribed!👍

It probably wasn't even planned. They probably just paved over an already existing old dirt trail. A lot of roads in this country came into being that way. For example, I went to the old Antietam battlefield in Maryland and had an old Civil War map, and all the modern roads in the area were on the Civil War map, in the same places. They were originally just dirt trails and when it came to making modern roads they just paved over what was already there.

1955 and I would not call it designed. Current configuration has a very large grass island separating the intersecting road's two lanes so Turnipseed left turn can not be made at speed now that it could have easily made in 1955.

@Mr_Bones. 4 ай бұрын

This is the real cause of the crash. It’s insane that they put a left turn crossing over a highway like that. The planner didn’t even have the decency to put a stop for the left turn. Imagine designing a highway where one section can legally swerve in front of the other. Road designer and his supervisor should be in prison. That intersection was known as death alley for that obvious reason

A very interesting reconstruction. As I understand it, there was nothing in front of Turnupseed that would have prevented his seeing the oncoming Porsche as he made his turn; he misjudged the speed the Porsche was travelling at, as police estimates of the speed pegged it as significantly higher than the posted limit. The earlier ticket might also have prompted Dean to try to make up for the lost time that ticket cost him, hence an even higher speed than he was doing previously. The mechanic was expelled from the Porsche on impact and was found on the road. Dean was thrown to the passenger side of the car, feet caught under the pedals and head over the passenger door. The car Turnupseed was driving was almost double the weight of the Porsche, and it has long been speculated that had Dean moved left instead of right he would likely have avoided the collision. Great reconstruction though - the intersection was modified several years later, so it no longer looks like it did when the crash occurred.

the cop was doing his part to keep the roadway safe, Dean chose to not listen to one of life's little signs. interestingly some of the last footage recorded of him was for a public safety commercial which he starred in as an humble role model, advising no matter how good of a driver you are to not speed on the highway... speed kills... something along those lines. There is probably a good baseball analogy for this.

Dean was slumped over the passenger seat with a foot stuck in the pedals. This is part of the controversy of who was actually driving. 3. The student was totally at fault for the crash, even per one of two police investigators. He turned in front of Dean. Its irrelevant that a silver car with no roof would be hard to see. Dean had right of way. Yet he got of free and clear thanks to the jury of fellow locals. 4. Dean's recent speeding and glamorous image, surely played against him as these rurals blamed him in a way.

The town is pronounced "Cho-lame." Turnipseed was traveling east on Hwy 466 and was planning on turning left onto Hwy 41 at the intersection when he collided with Dean's car. In effect, he turned left and right into the path of Dean's oncoming Porsche traveling west on 466 (now Hwy 46). The light aluminum Porsche was no match for the heavy 1950 Ford Tudor, and it flipped several times, the impact breaking James Dean's neck, which was the primary cause of his death. By the time his friend Bill Hickman and 'Look' Magazine photographer Sanford Roth arrived on the scene driving Dean's Ford station wagon pulling the empty trailer, it was too late. When asked at the subsequent inquest why he had turned and not waited, Donald Turnipseed stated that "I didn't see him."

About 20 years ago, I watched a video here in YT about this crash. It was created by a company that creates comparative analysis' of vehicles crashes, and they created one for Dean's crash. They estimated the true speed of Dean at about 55 mph. This is was done by analyzing the resting spot of his car, where the cars hit, and the distance that both cars travelled after hitting each other and then stopping. They also compared different speeds and found that where Dean's car rested, which was against a telephone pole, he was probably travelling at 55 mph. Had he travelled faster, or slower, his car would have rested on either side of the pole. Very interesting computer simulation by a company that does this as a business. Some witnesses that saw Dean and his passenger before the accident, state that Dean was not driving when the accident occurred.

A few comments about the narrative, there are some inaccuracies. First the video shows a sign saying that they are close to the Nevada state line, the Navada sate line is several hundred miles east. Second both he and his mechanic were both sited for speeding by a California Highway Patrol officer not BPD. Three although not stated in the piece here it was estimated he averaged over 70 mph from the time of the citation to the accident scene. A small piece of trivia if you see one of the posters there are three signatures on the citation, Mr. Deans, the citing officer ( O.V. Hunter ) and Sargent R.H. Barrett, signing of the citation because Mr. Dean was not able to appear.

Crazy how he turned into the collision. Considering his pedigree he should have known there was no point: 1) the car was too far into the turn, and wouldn’t have been able to correct itself for his turn in to work avoiding the collision. 2) There was nothing to turn into but dirt and a fence which are still significant hazards. The correct move should have been turn opposite of the car, use the adjacent lane as your area for correction after such a maneuver. Obviously if there was traffic behind the car then this would have been moot, but from what I can ascertain there wasn’t.

This simulation did orient things correctly, it has previously been confusing to me, as to the actual position of the two cars. That bit of intersection was re-constructed many years ago, the exact site of the collision is about 20 yards to one side of the newer intersection. The old section of the road is overgrown, but still visible somewhat. That old turn situation was truly a dangerous place!

Saw a recreation that included the sun's position at the time of the crash. This is the most underrated aspect of this entire tragedy. The sun was facing directly into Turnipseed's eyes. Add in the fact that Dean's Porshe was silver and shiny and it stands to reason that Turnipseed simply didn't see Dean. Call it lazy driving by Turnipseed or blindness by the sun. Dean's speed at the time of the impact could be a factor as well. The stars aligned to make this tragedy.

If the recreation is accurate with a 1956 Bel Air in front of Turnupseed blocking his view of Dean's Porsche until he had already started his turn, then you can understand why the crash happened. But from what I've read there was nothing obstructing Turnupseeds view of the Porsche at the time of the accident. He either didn't see him, or just misjudged Dean's speed. Guess we'll never really know.

given the fact that the Porsche was undoubtedly being driven flat out there is every chance that Turnupseed misjudged the closing rate. he had no reason to believe they would be in collision proximity that fast, judging by the cars he had always seen coming at a much slower pace. further, the Porsche was very small and would probably have seemed much further away compared to the larger cars he was used to seeing

I have been to the site of the wreck many times. It is all pretty much changed these days. 2-years later my dad, a big fan of Dean's, died in a wreck in a brand new TR-3. the curve where it happened is now eliminated when they straightened the road, but the old road and road cut is still visible there. The Ford was a Coupe, not a sedan. There is a difference. I have owned them both plus a Vicky hardtop. The recreation shows what appears to be a Chevy. GM car for sure. As I understand it, 'Little Bastard' disappeared and has never resurfaced

@ag4allgood Ай бұрын

Nice job. That intersection looks dangerous the way its configured. Also didn't James Dean have the sun to his back so the Ford driven by Mr Turnupseed had the sun in his eyes at just about sunset ? Dean's roadster was small & low to the ground making Turnupseed slow to react. Murphy's Law happening.

In spite of the limited factual background - wind generators and the Nevada state line - I still enjoyed the recreation. FWIW, the timing between the ticket and the collision proves that Dean’s average speed between the two points was not over the speed limit. But of course average isn’t proof of his speed at the time of the collision. And that’s what it was, a collision. I too know the location, having driven past it many times in the 70s. It was not an “accident” but was due to Appleseed turning in front of the Porsche, which had the right of way. Regardless it was tragic - as are all fatal collisions.

This makes it seem as if Turnupseed turned Infront of Dean. If so, his right front and grill would have been damaged, but it was his left front that was smashed in and Dean would have been able to see him, brake then turn left out of his way. So Turnupseed was lying. He could/should have seen Dean's car but he turned left INTO Dean's left wheel and door , Dean's face had glass in it from the Ford's headlight. It was entirely Turnupseed:s fault. He lied and got away with it.

@jrnumex9286 2 жыл бұрын

hey frank, i just seen another simulation of great detail and close to this one's description but slightly off in simulation..this one has turnup starting the left turn early to keep up his speed as he apparently didn't see dean approaching. he drove that route almost weekly and at that area any other car/vehicle in past was 2x 3x bigger than deans as just pointing out possible mind/eye memory of turnup. this vid says half way thru the turn he see's dean and tries to come back right to clear dean's lane. the porche was noted always to skid left /right on hard braking during racing events. this vid showed dean skid right close to a t- bone with turnups left side on his right turn, they said a car behind who was passed by dean prior to intersection said dean was "hauling a.." (not their term) and on impact deans car did a completed flip and 360 spin airborne to landing. according to vid a inquest was held and found turnup turned into a speeding dean so they called it even, no charges.

@frankpotter1982 2 жыл бұрын

@@jrnumex9286 Yeah, I seen that. They are basing their videos simulations on Turnupseed's statement to police. But he was lying, the physical evidence of the damage on both cars, does not support his version. What does, is Dean was driving straight in his lane at about 65mph and Turnupseed turned directly into Dean's left side, flipping his car up in the air. The outcome was far from even, Dean was killed and the other guy bust his nose.
