Actually, the police report states that there was no fog at all, and no vehicle spraying insecticide. Harrison was either distracted or falling asleep and didn't see the truck.
That is something I just found out after seeing your comment. There were multiple people including the drivers of both the semi and fog truck saying it was clear. They also did testing which showed the same. Seems like a case of maybe trying to spare the driver's family's feelings. Given the time of day, passengers and belongings going 80 seems more likely due to having fallen asleep.
Driver Ronnie Harrison was going about 70mph, while the truck ahead had slowed to 35mph in response to another truck in the opposite lane flashing red warning lights about the insecticide spray. The oncoming truck wasn't currently spraying insecticide but it was warning that it was about to start spraying.
Thank you, a year late but I was about to make this same comment. The police report indicated the insecticide vehicle was not spraying insecticide at the time of the crash. And actually it was due to this accident that semis now have the bar with reflective tape that hangs from the back of semi-trailers, called the "Mansfield Bar."
One last myth....Jayne Mansfield "did not" get decapitated. Mansfield's wig was thrown to the side of the road, where it was mistaken in news stories for her head.
She was certainly an interesting person in her “private” life but not here to judge. Lot of people think she was decapitated in the accident but she was not. She had crushed skull and injuries more akin to a scalping. That rumor had started after her wig was laying on the ground or in back of the car, don’t remember which. One accident if you decide to cover is Porsche Girl aka 18 y/o Nikki Catsoura (probably spelling it wrong) Back story is she got mad at her dad, took his Porsche, crashed into another vehicle and few other things; there are some graphic pictures of her body and what was left of her head. This happened back in 2006

Sam Brody, her boyfriend was an asswhole and was probably goading the young driver to go too fast. Brody probably had a penchant for driving too fast and drinking himself, that's probably why they'd been in so many crashes, but I agree it's completely ridiculous. Nowadays he'd end up in prison for drunk driving or have his license taken before he could have that many probably.
It is totally false that a bug fogging truck was fogging at that time. The bug truck would have had warning vehicles front and back as per law. The bug truck did have a red blinking light on it which made the semi in front of the Buick slow down. The police reports all reply that it was a very clear night. Cause of accident was lack of attention and very high speed of the Buick. One can try to spin it anyway they want but it comes down to slower semi, car hauling ass, Kaboom. Period end.

The police report on actress Jayne Mansfield's auto accident in June of 1967, clearly states that no trucks were spraying insecticide on the side of the road for mosquitoes that night. The tractor trailer that Ronnie Harrison (the driver) slammed into had slowed down because the truck in front of him was driving slow but not spraying any chemicals. The very first truck which was smaller than the tractor trailer behind it insisted he had turned off the mosquito sprayers quite awhile before the fatal accident. The 1966 Buick Electra that was involved in the car accident had belong to Gus Steven's who was the owner of the nightclub where Jayne performed her very last singing gig. Jayne and her current boyfriend Sam Brody (who was married to someone else at the time of the accident) had tried to rent a Limousine or Rolls Royce for either a TV or radio interview the following morning in Slidell, La but couldn't get either car due to bad credit on both parties. The denial of a car then put Jayne in a tight spot to get to her interview in Slidell. Samuel (Sam) Brody had borrowed in the past approximately $ 250,000 from the mob in order to buy Jayne some fine jewelry and other items but he was having a hard time paying back the money. Unfortunately, for Sam the mob threatened him to pay up or else and once Jayne heard about the money problems she agreed to help Sam pay off the loan by singing and performing monologues in some really run down nightclub's. Gus had heard about Jayne and Sam not having a car to go to the interview and offered to loan the couple his 1966 Buick Electra. (later it was noted that Mrs.Steven's wasn't very keen on the idea). Gus then asked Ronnie Harrison if he would drive the couple into Slidell, La because he knew the route very well. Ronnie's girlfriend was Gus Steven's daughter and she was pregnant with his baby girl. He was in no shape to drive Jayne and the children due to lack of sleep and a lot stress with his planned elopement with his girlfriend, and the impending birth of their baby daughter. The 3 adult's in the car consisted of Ronnie, Jayne, and Sam. The 3 children were Zoltan,Miklos,and future actress Mariska. Now that everybody was in the car Ronnie started driving down the dark road at more than a safe speed. The original seating position's in the car were Ronnie was seated on the driver's left side side with Jayne seated in the middle with at least one child and 2 dog's on her lap, and Sam was on the right passenger side. The group stopped briefly at a little store/diner off the road to use the bathroom and to buy some soda and snacks. The group then got back into their car and at this time Jayne switch seat's with Sam who was now in the middle and Jayne put one of her children in the back seat of the car so they could sleep. Once Jayne did all that she got back into the car's front seat and then put her two dog's onto her lap. Ronnie the driver then took off at a high rate of speed down the dark and winding road with speed's reaching nearly 70 to 80 mph. Ronnie had had 2 speeding tickets in the past and that might show he had a lead foot and a bit impatient. He couldn't have known that the tractor/trailer truck on the dark road had slowed down due to a much smaller truck also driving slow in front of him. Poor Ronnie didn't see the truck in time and slammed into the back of the truck with such force the car went under the bottom of the truck and caused the roof to peel back like a can opener. Ron, Sam, and Jayne were killed instantaneously along with her two cute little dogs !! All 3 front passengers suffered severe trauma to the head (scalped) along with multiple fractures, cut's, and laceration's all over their bodies. Jayne may have seen what was happening in front of her at the very last moment and in a defensive mode put her hand up on the dashboard and broke it upon impact. The 3 adults didn't suffer and that brings some comfort in knowing. The news media then jumped onto the story that Jayne had been decapitated due to a photo that shows a blonde batch of hair caught in the car windshield. Jayne had a habit of wearing wigs and that was the reader was seeing not her head !!! I have only seen two photos of Ronnie after the crash, and one shows him still in the driver seat with his forearm and hand on the dashboard. The second photo shows him lying down with a sheet covering him with his feet sticking out. The picture of Sam lying down on the ground outside of the car is very graphic and hard to make out if it's him but of course it was. The 2 photos I've seen of Jayne shows her lying down outside of the car and the second one has her on more on the shoulder of the road. The photos are very gory but does show Jayne wasn't decapitated !! I haven't come across a autopsy report for Ronnie and Sam but I'm fairly certain that they both received substantial injuries. The autopsy report on Jayne is pretty through and the toxicology reading for alcohol was .14% along with some barbiturates (a sleeping pill). The three children did received moderate injuries with one of the boy's having a broken arm and Mariska having a deep gash on the side of her head. The whole scenario of this car accident along with losing their mother must have been a nightmare for the 3 children and I'm sure it took quite awhile for them to heal emotionally. Jayne was making a lot of bad choices later in her life by excessive drinking, taking diet and sleeping pills, and either joining or just hanging out with Anton LeVay a Satanic cult leader who ran "The Church of Satan" which was located at one time in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. The story behind what may have caused the crash is an interesting one and who knows if curse's can come true. Anton had placed a cursed on Sam because he would mess up his satanic altar when he and Jayne would come to visit him. The story that has been told many times is Anton was so mad at Sam that he grabbed a magazine and then tore it up not knowing that Jayne's picture was on the back and that the photo was ripped at the neck. Anton had also threatened Sam several times that he would be dead in one year, but I can't remember if it would be in a car accident or something else. I personally think Anton was having a temper tantrum and yet because he embraced the dark side who knows what powers that Anton LeVey could truly have possessed !!! Jayne's life was on a downward spiral as she could no longer find movie roles or pretty much any work to support herself and her children. Jayne's addiction's with pills and alcohol was her way of coping with the pressures of not being as famous as she once was and of course finding work in Hollywood. Jayne's father had suffered a major heart attack died while driving when Vera Jean Palmer (Jayne) was just 3 years old. I'm not judging Jayne in anyway and I do wished she could have turned her life around not only for herself but for her lovely children whom Jayne loved dearly. Rest in Peace Jayne,Sam,Ronnie,and your 2 little Chihuahua's. 🕊️ 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@OtelliSandrina You're correct 💯 Jayne had either 3 or 4 Chihuahua's with her in the car. Old news footage show's a Highway Patrol Officer placing one of the dog's on the left side of his squad car. Kenneth Anger wrote a book called: Hollywood Babylon which I believe was released in the early 1970's. Kenneth goes into details the sordid history of Hollywood and there's quite a bit of graphic pictures ( tame by today's standard's). One of the photos depicts Jayne's Mansfield's crumpled 1966 Buick Electra car (actually the car was owned by Gus Stevens who owned the nightclub that Jayne had her last performance) and the car's roof was completely peeled back towards the back window. The picture also clearly shows a blonde wig in the windshield leading to the rumor she had been decapitated (she had been severely scalped). The very last page of the book shows a close up of the Jayne Mansfield's car crash from the bottom of the passenger right hand side. The photo is a very sad sight as it shows one of the dead dog's and several liquor bottles spewed about.Just Terrible 😔
Good write up my friend. As far as LeVey is concerned: we can pinpoint 98% of all traffic fatalities to human error i.e. being distracted, impaired, and most of all speeding. I would garner that the driver had a bad habit of driving excessively fast.
Interesting fact: Most people believe Mansfield was beheaded during the accident because in one picture a "blonde haired head" can be seen hanging in the scrap. This is false. The "blonde haired head" was only a wig Mansfield used to wear. In another picture appears the body of the actress and can clearly be seen she was not beheaded. Another interesting fact is that only 3 days earlier, on June 26th, 1967, another actress, Françoise Dorléac, sister of Catherine Deneuve, was burned alive in a car crash at Villeneuve-Loubet, France.
People forget to mention her 4 tiny dogs that were also in the car, 2 of which died, and 2 survived. And one of her children that was sleeping in the back, is actress Mariska Hargitay from Law and order fame.
That poor beautiful lady, folks that's why there are those large bars suspended underneath the back of trailers now to keep cars from going underneath it's called the Mansfield bar. Her death has saved countless lives rest in peace You Beautiful talented lady, you are still terribly missed
Somehow I don't believe in a normal accident. As if help was given afterwards (see accident Mr. Jörg Haider in Austria). Maybe she was too dangerous for Hollywood in the long run.
This video is very erroneous. First of all, according to the police report and eye-witness testimony, it was clear out. Visibility was perfect. Second, it was on HWY 90 about a mile south/west of the Rigolets Bridge. The terrain is mostly flat, there are a few trees, but not big pine trees everywhere. Also, there is Lake Pontchatrain to the right and Lake St. Catherine to the left, with only about 1000 feet of space on either side of the road. The car was not white, it was either green or a teal colored. Lastly, the Johnson truck did not have triple axles in the back.

And hats off to you survivor! 12 lives at least. Keep up the good work.
2:17 It looks like Jayne is seated in the middle of the front seat but in the accident photos it showed Brodie in the middle and Jayne on the RH side. There are photos of the wreck where the roof is peeled back, Jayne's body has been taken out an laid to rest on the ground with a cover over it, and the other 2 are still in the car. Brodie's body is positioned right next to the driver and the far RH area of the front seat is unoccupied. It is understandable why Brodie might not want Jayne sitting all cuddled up next to the 20 year old male driver for obvious reasons. Might be a little distracting, lol.
just to clarify there was no insecticide fog it was clear the truck that sprays did not have the machine on if he did there would have been cops warning drivers about it
The insecticide fog part was a myth. There was no fog. It’s true that there was an insecticide truck in front of the truck that Jayne Mansfield’s car hit, but there was no record that it was spraying for mosquitoes at that time. This is based on another video I watched about this topic.
55 years later and I believe the children of Jayne and brody might have got children of their own and shame that jaynes grandchildren never get to see her and brody
In addition to the DOT bar on the back there needs to be 'safety bars' installed on each side to prevent vehicles slipping between the truck and trailer wheels.
And it failed, like all government bullshit, new Highway speeds and a trailer on the side of the road. Trucking industry knows its just painting a pig. Look at the thousands!!! Of cars, suv etc, running under. Please sell bullshit to morons, not the industry.
No insect spray so that's wrong The truck in front slowed down Has he saw the spray tucks red flashing light coming to wards him And the driver of the Buick slammed in to rear of the Johnson truck Read the police reports
They hit a mosquito truck spraying for a mosquitoes. It had fogged up the road and the young inexperienced driver in his early 20’s couldn’t see. It wasn’t a semi.
Such a sad horrible story. But i blame the driver who driving that big Buick at about 80 miles an hour when he slammed into the back of of that huge tracker trailer..
My research says different, that there was no fog from insecticides and vision was not impaired that night. So, was there fog or not? If there was still don't explain why the car going too fast for conditions. Imo, truck was going slow yes, but the car was not because the driver fell asleep at the wheel along with everyone else in the car, kids included and not one was wearing seat belts.

Ronnie's girlfriend was Gus Steven's daughter and she was pregnant with his baby girl.

The autopsy report on Jayne is pretty through and the toxicology reading for alcohol was .14% along with some barbiturates (a sleeping pill).
The three children did received moderate injuries with one of the boy's having a broken arm and Mariska having a deep gash on the side of her head.
The whole scenario of this car accident along with losing their mother must have been a nightmare for the 3 children and I'm sure it took quite awhile for them to heal emotionally.
Jayne was making a lot of bad choices later in her life by excessive drinking, taking diet and sleeping pills, and either joining or just hanging out with Anton LeVay a Satanic cult leader who ran
"The Church of Satan" which was located at one time in the San Francisco
Bay Area of California.
The story behind what may have caused the crash is an interesting one and who knows if curse's can come true.
Anton had placed a cursed on Sam because he would mess up his satanic altar when he and Jayne would come to visit him.
The story that has been told many times is Anton was so mad at Sam that he grabbed a magazine and then tore it up not knowing that Jayne's picture was on the back and that the photo was ripped at the neck.
Anton had also threatened Sam several times that he would be dead in one year, but I can't remember if it would be in a car accident or something else.
I personally think Anton was having a temper tantrum and yet because he embraced the dark side who knows what powers that Anton LeVey could truly have possessed !!!
Jayne's life was on a downward spiral as she could no longer find movie roles or pretty much any work to support herself and her children.
Jayne's addiction's with pills and alcohol was her way of coping with the pressures of not being as famous as she once was and of course finding work in Hollywood.
Jayne's father had suffered a major heart attack died while driving when
Vera Jean Palmer (Jayne) was just 3 years old.
I'm not judging Jayne in anyway and I do wished she could have turned her life around not only for herself but for her lovely children whom Jayne loved dearly.
Rest in Peace Jayne,Sam,Ronnie,and your 2 little Chihuahua's.
🕊️ 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
@apriltorres3684:Thank so much for the most thorough detailed account of the background of the accident.
One of the dogs was alive
@@OtelliSandrina You're correct 💯
Jayne had either 3 or 4 Chihuahua's with her in the car. Old news footage show's a Highway Patrol Officer placing one of the dog's on the left side of his squad car.
Kenneth Anger wrote a book called: Hollywood Babylon which I believe was released in the early 1970's.
Kenneth goes into details the sordid history of Hollywood and there's quite a bit of graphic pictures ( tame by today's
standard's).
One of the photos depicts Jayne's Mansfield's crumpled 1966 Buick Electra car
(actually the car was owned by Gus Stevens who owned the nightclub that Jayne had her last performance) and the car's roof was completely peeled back towards the back window.
The picture also clearly shows a blonde wig in the windshield leading to the rumor she had been decapitated (she had been severely scalped).
The very last page of the book shows a close up of the Jayne Mansfield's car crash from the bottom of the passenger right hand side. The photo is a very sad sight as it shows one of the dead dog's and several liquor bottles spewed about.Just Terrible 😔
Shit write a book😂
Good write up my friend. As far as LeVey is concerned: we can pinpoint 98% of all traffic fatalities to human error i.e. being distracted, impaired, and most of all speeding. I would garner that the driver had a bad habit of driving excessively fast.
The police report states the weather was clear and NO insecticide spray was involved in the accident.
Testemony later revealed that there was no fog. The Mansfeild driver was speeding. He never slamed on the breaks, never slowed down.
Interesting video but the music not only was unnecessary but ruined the video.
Who sings this what’s the song called?
Yeh the music is pointless and totally irrelevant to the vid.
@@milemajetic8104 A computer sings it.
I liked the music, thought it added to the video.
I think it was a nice touch
Interesting fact: Most people believe Mansfield was beheaded during the accident because in one picture a "blonde haired head" can be seen hanging in the scrap. This is false. The "blonde haired head" was only a wig Mansfield used to wear. In another picture appears the body of the actress and can clearly be seen she was not beheaded.
Another interesting fact is that only 3 days earlier, on June 26th, 1967, another actress, Françoise Dorléac, sister of Catherine Deneuve, was burned alive in a car crash at Villeneuve-Loubet, France.
Can't believe I'm 50 and just realized Mariska Hargitay is Mansfield's daughter.
I did not know that
And she was in the back seat of that car when it all went down.
Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripperton’s daughter if you didn’t already know as wel
She looks very much like her. It said she was 3 at the time. Unimaginable trauma from witnessing it all.
@@Magnetron33 She was 3, asleep, and remembers nothing. No trauma to be had.
People forget to mention her 4 tiny dogs that were also in the car, 2 of which died, and 2 survived. And one of her children that was sleeping in the back, is actress Mariska Hargitay from Law and order fame.
3 of her children were in the back, all asleep.
@@englishatheart Yes I know, but i only mentioned Mariska Hargitay, because people might know her from TV fame.
A lot of people don’t know this, but Jayne Mansfield is Mariska Hagerty’s (Olivia Benson) mother.
Celebrities who died in car accidents - Jayne Mansfield, James Dean, Paul Walker, Anne Heche, Princess Grace Kelly, Princess Diana,
Pretty sure the story about the mosquito spray fog was disproven. It’s unknown why the driver did not see the truck.
Coming around a curve at night at way too fast a speed, possibly a blind curve, too.
@@serenatwilite4005 Did the trailer have functioning taillights ?
I love your series. Very well done.
one child was L&O SVU immortal Mariska Hagerty
That poor beautiful lady, folks that's why there are those large bars suspended underneath the back of trailers now to keep cars from going underneath it's called the Mansfield bar. Her death has saved countless lives rest in peace You Beautiful talented lady, you are still terribly missed
I was always taught better a minute late than a minute dead !
Good comment!
Somehow I don't believe in a normal accident. As if help was given afterwards (see accident Mr. Jörg Haider in Austria). Maybe she was too dangerous for Hollywood in the long run.
nice song who sings it please
Hopefully the children are okay.
Physically yes, mentally I don't think so after seeing that.
Same
Her daughter plays Olivia Benson from Law and Order SVU
They were totally cool with it.
@@LittleRedMoon16 Her name is Mariska Hargitay.
I knew someone who died the same way on a backroad on a motorcycle he just plowed into the back of an 18 wheeler truck speeding.
Animation-Good, Music-Unnecessary.
Naw, the music reminded me of early Tori Amos. Every cool teenager from the 90s was into her in the day
And dreadful!
I think the music added some emotion and sentiment to what would otherwise be a cold and brutal animation.
I liked the music. I never knew her children were in the backseat 😢
Geez, that sure is a lot of crashes for one couple to have been in.
This video is very erroneous. First of all, according to the police report and eye-witness testimony, it was clear out. Visibility was perfect. Second, it was on HWY 90 about a mile south/west of the Rigolets Bridge. The terrain is mostly flat, there are a few trees, but not big pine trees everywhere. Also, there is Lake Pontchatrain to the right and Lake St. Catherine to the left, with only about 1000 feet of space on either side of the road. The car was not white, it was either green or a teal colored. Lastly, the Johnson truck did not have triple axles in the back.
And Jayne was not seated in the center.
There was no fog of insecticide spray. 1:39
Wonderful adaptation of what happened on that horrible evening. 😔 ❤️💕 Dear Ms Mansfield was gone too soon. May she RIP. Thanks for the video BeamNG.
There was absolutely no insecticide spray on the road.
I grew up in back country of San Diego. . We live in a canyon. The was a steep winding road that lead up from the flatlands... IN the middle of the canyon. City Slikers used to get drunk and missed judged the sharpness of the 1st curve and go plunging off end up at the bottom... We could hear the cars tumbling to the bottom!!! Rarely did they suffer any broken bones... My friend owned a wrecking yard that had cars where people where seriously injured or died.. One thing I noticed in all these cars there was crushed there was always protection for a person lay down and survive... This was before seatbelts!!! I have survived many crashes with nothing more serious then bruises... I NEVER WORE A SEAT BELT!!! & ONLY GOT THROWN OUT OF A VEHICLE BECAUSE THE IT WAS A RAGTOP AND THE ROLL BAR SNAPPED.... I TRIED TO LAY DOWN BUT THE VEHICLE HIT A ROCK. I FOLDED THE STEERING WHEEL LIKE A TACO.... THAT WAS MY 1ST & LAST RAGTOP,!!!
I MADE SURE ALL VEHICLES HAD A VERY LOW CENTER CONSOLE... OH YES I HATE AIRBAGS!!! ONE BROKE MY HEAL!!!! I SURVIVED BEING A PARAPLEGIC IN 69 & IN EARLY 70'S A QUADRAPLEGIC FROM A SPINAL OPERATION THAT WENT SOUTH.. AFTER SURGERY I WENT DOWN FOR THE COUNT!!! WAS IN A DEEP COMA BUT STILL COULD HEAR EVERYTHING!!! I HAD 5 SERIOUS ISSUES 1. HEART ATTACK. 2. BLEEDING IN SPINAL COLUMN. 3. BLOOD CLOTS IN LUNGS. 4. PUEMONIA. 5. LACK OF OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN... I AM NOW A WALKIE TALKIE 1% OF A 1%ER (1% CAN WALK & ONLY 1% CAN TALK (LEVEL C1/C2 INCOMPLETE)!!!!
Bought a marta police dodge intrepid with no center console. T boned by a work truck booking it- my fault- but that console not being there saved my life. Car was in shape of a U. 3 cracked ribs and spleen they had to keep an eye on for a few days. If console was there I would have been pinned and crushed.
And hats off to you survivor! 12 lives at least. Keep up the good work.
SPEED KILLS as does sleeping or drowsiness at the wheel. Remember that reader for your own and family's good. 😢😢😢
0:16 Sophia's eyes
This is a one billion photo 😂😂😂😂
2:17 It looks like Jayne is seated in the middle of the front seat but in the accident photos it showed Brodie in the middle and Jayne on the RH side. There are photos of the wreck where the roof is peeled back, Jayne's body has been taken out an laid to rest on the ground with a cover over it, and the other 2 are still in the car. Brodie's body is positioned right next to the driver and the far RH area of the front seat is unoccupied. It is understandable why Brodie might not want Jayne sitting all cuddled up next to the 20 year old male driver for obvious reasons. Might be a little distracting, lol.
just to clarify there was no insecticide fog it was clear the truck that sprays did not have the machine on if he did there would have been cops warning drivers about it
What is the name of that beautiful song playing in the background ? Absolutely beautiful tribute
If you get it please tell me
@@maximillamirikuyu6207 Dash Berlin featuring Emma Hewitt called waiting
Darude - Sandstorm
The two men's faces were part of the dash, not as shown here. The real pics are out there.
Her daughter is famous.
It think its disgusting that the car has been displayed as an attraction
Very unlikely a mosquito spray truck would have been spraying at 2 a.m. I think the spraying usually happens at dusk.
Unless it was a setup.
Where I live, they spray late at night.
The insecticide fog part was a myth. There was no fog. It’s true that there was an insecticide truck in front of the truck that Jayne Mansfield’s car hit, but there was no record that it was spraying for mosquitoes at that time. This is based on another video I watched about this topic.
55 years later and I believe the children of Jayne and brody might have got children of their own and shame that jaynes grandchildren never get to see her and brody
She was very pretty. So sad she had such a tragic ending. Thank God her children survived.
RIP all those who died 😢😢🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️
Brakes were never applied. RIP Jayne.
The night was clear and stars where visible. The fogger truck was not spraying anything, they were just moving it.
I cannot see a music credit here.
What is the song used please?
@nigel
You gotta be kidding.
fact, there was NO insect fog sprayed.
There was no fog that night. That’s a rumor. The truck was not spraying insecticide.
We have no idea when it’s our time. Life is so precious and so short.
Rest In Peace to all that night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yep.
In addition to the DOT bar on the back there needs to be 'safety bars' installed on each side to prevent vehicles slipping between the truck and trailer wheels.
And it failed, like all government bullshit, new Highway speeds and a trailer on the side of the road. Trucking industry knows its just painting a pig. Look at the thousands!!! Of cars, suv etc, running under. Please sell bullshit to morons, not the industry.
They survived 7 crashes?!
Can you say BS??? There was no "fog" just a FAST driving young man.😎
A lot of celebrities die in a car crash. I think this was Jayne's exit from the world stage.
what happened was there was NO FOG and there was a slow moving truck
Couldn't get through this due to that damned music.
🔊🎶😖
What's wrong with it?
@@serenatwilite4005 EVERYTHING
Her little doggies were also in the front with them :(
No insect spray so that's wrong The truck in front slowed down Has he saw the spray tucks red flashing light coming to wards him And the driver of the Buick slammed in to rear of the Johnson truck Read the police reports
I remember hearing about it on the radio.
They hit a mosquito truck spraying for a mosquitoes. It had fogged up the road and the young inexperienced driver in his early 20’s couldn’t see. It wasn’t a semi.
??? Look at the accident pictures. The mosquito trucks in our neighborhood looked like mini dump trucks.
No music credit?
Grace Kelly i would like to see a reconstruction of that day...
Check the channel, it's been done.
Done one
Rick Allen from DefLepard would be a good one
This Channel is insane
what is this truck and trailer at 1:57
RIP Jayne, you were beautiful.
RIP to ugly, smart, and sober people too
Such a sad horrible story. But i blame the driver who driving that big Buick at about 80 miles an hour when he slammed into the back of of that huge tracker trailer..
this car is still on display with two giant dents in the dashboard
Lose the jackaas music....
This is not correct. The spraying had not happened that day. The driver was speeding..going flat out and hit a moving truck.
How strange for those kids to later learn they were in that car.
Rest In Peace all
I have also read that the car was doing around 80 mph.
Nice graphics.
There are no mountains in Louisiana and the part of the road where they crashed had no trees. The road is surrounded by marsh and lakes.
Not a bad video. Would've been OK without the ear-rape caterwauling on the soundtrack...
0:18
Ayo chillout lady I know ur jealous 💀
Sophia was far better looking than Jayne. She had nothing to worry about. Jayne was always flashing her breasts to get attention.
I read that there were some differences in real life and this video. Does anyone know if the truck was even moving? If so, how fast?
My research says different, that there was no fog from insecticides and vision was not impaired that night. So, was there fog or not? If there was still don't explain why the car going too fast for conditions. Imo, truck was going slow yes, but the car was not because the driver fell asleep at the wheel along with everyone else in the car, kids included and not one was wearing seat belts.
Rest in peace Jamie you will be missed.
Yes, she's been missed for over 60 years now.
What song is this playing in the background? Ty🦋
Dash Berlin strings
In the official police report.. there was no insecticide truck spraying at the time... The road was clear of insecticide fog...
ON 3RD AUGUST 2024 AT NIGHT, WHILE I WAS IN MY DAD'S CAR, I DECIDED TO PLAY THE BACKROUND SONG. JUST LIKE MANSFIELD WENT TO THE TRIP AFTER THE CLUB PERFROMANCE, I ALSO WENT ON THE TRIP JUST A FEW HOURS AFTER I DID MY VASUDHA SCIENCE EXHIBITION. WE WERE GOING FROM LUCKNOW TO SHORATGARH
The insecticide truck was not actually being used that night. Unlike what the newspaper reported.
thus the birth of the Mansfield bar
Jayne's sons Zoltan and Mickey Jr survived the crash
