Ronnie Peterson, one of the best car racers who introduced formula 1, died a tragic death. I know it has been quite a long time. Therefore, there is no point in talking about it.
But there are still certain things that need public attention. You know, sometimes it is not about what happened but how it happened. He was too young to die. Do you know how he died?

His car caught fire. It was all good. Yes, the doctors said that his injuries are not fatal and he has a fine chance of recovering. But later, when he was taken to some other hospital, his condition got worse.
You know, it is very sad to see that lack of medical awareness and accessibility can kill someone. Tell me one thing, do you feel that if that accident happened today? Will he be saved?
I highly think so. It was the lack of awareness that killed him. I mean, just imagine his car caught fire, and he was safe, and he died when people were trying to make him well. The irony of life, I guess.
Gradually, I will describe the whole story to you. Let’s start with the accident first.
The Fatal Car Accident of Ronnie Peterson
Ronnie Peterson was a car racer, and he died while driving his car. Yes, it was again a car racing event, and his car caught fire. It is not something that happened suddenly. It cannot catch fire out of anywhere, right?
It crashed first, and then it caught fire. I remember seeing the interviews and all the news channels covering the tragic incident. One of Ronnie’s companions said that his legs were so brutally injured that he didn’t let him see his legs.
I cannot even think of that. How painful it could have been.
His treatment Process
His treatment didn’t last for even a day. He was taken to another hospital, and his condition started to get worse. But I still believe that his condition was never good; they just couldn’t recognize it.
I mean, it all started with his legs. The later report said that his bone marrow was damaged, and it attacked his internal organs, including his brain. The car crash was responsible for his condition, not the fire.
Oh god! I wish he is in a better place right now.
Final Words
It’s so sad that people have forgotten the hero. It is obvious it has been quite a long time since he passed away, and there are hundreds of other famous car racers now.
So, don’t they meet with such accidents? Yes, they do. I told you, now, it is easier to get out alive from such situations. Medical facilities have evolved, and even the most subtle injuries are easy to recognize.
What do you think? If he was alive, would he be performing? It would have been an extraordinary experience. It reminds me of Luka, he is still continuing.
Someone told the truth if a great man dies, a greater man is born.
