I'm wondering if anyone can remember this better?

I seem to remember a long time ago in motor racing (perhaps 40 or so years ago), there was a big accident at (I think) Monza.

The accident involved a sharp part of a car coming off and slicing through several spectators.

Can anyone remember what I'm thinking of?

Thanks :)

do you mean this........
1961 Wolfgang von Trips (D) At the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, his Ferrari collided with Jim Clark's Lotus. His car became airborne and crashed into a side barrier, fatally throwing von Trips from the car, and killing fifteen spectators.

''The high-speed collision completed decapitated the 19-year-old marshal throwing body parts into the air.''
