I accepted Di? Strange... I normally don't accept two letter answers like that because they're not necessary and can be gotten accidentally. I guess I'll change that.

Margaret Mitchell did not die in a car crash: She was hit by a car when she was crossing Peachtree Street in Atlanta.

Derrick Thomas did not actually die in a car accident, he died two weeks after the car accident from a blood clot forming in his leg and then going to his heart which caused him to have a heart attack, but yes it was the accident that led up to this, but in my opinion with better medical help was something that could have been prevented, a true loss to the fans of KC and throughout the NFL.

Good quiz. If you're looking for more names, Sam Kinison (comedian), Jessica Savitch (journalist), Julia Lennon (John's mother, hit by a car), Ernie Kovacs (comedian).

Curator pick? Nice, thank you, I did not expect that. Personally, debbiedoesnothin, I have not heard of any of those. Do you think that some people would be able to come up with all of those (without looking at the comments)?

I haven't heard of any of them either (well, Lennon must have had a mother, I suppose), but then I haven't heard of half the ones you have included anyway.

Congratulations on your first published quiz Rom, nice work. Though I do think it is slightly insensitive that Sporcle has chosen to publish it so shortly after the high profile deaths of Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli. I'm sure Sporcle aren't trying to intentionally cash in on their deaths and the chances of Wheldon or Simoncelli's friends and family happening to be Sporcling today is negligible but it just seemed a little too soon.

Gen. Patton did not die in an automobile crash. He was paralysed as a result of a crash and died of a blood clot weeks later.

Similar to Derrick Thomas who died a few weeks later, also I believe from a blood clot. Still, I think you can safely say the car crash killed them. I thought Grace Kelly was a drowning though. Was that a car that crashed into water?

I was surprised Steve Prefontaine wasn't on here. He might be a good one if you decide to do a sequel.

Lieutenant-Colonel T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) died after a motorcycle accident in 1935. Was there another T.E Lawrence who was a general, and died in an auto accident a year later? ;-)

T.E. Lawrence was not a general. He was on the General List, but that was not his rank.

if this quiz was going to dig deep for Ivan Hlinka and Valeri Kharlamov, why not Pelle Lindbergh who actually died in the US while he was playing for the Flyers?

Interesting the number of people on here affiliated with hockey...another one that could have made the list was Tim Horton, who died February 21, 1974 in a crash in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Correct on Derrick Thomas. Died from a pulmonary embolus. Grace Kelly also debatable since she wrecked the car after suffering a massive stroke while driving.

Did Isadora Duncan die as a result of a crash? I thought that she got one of her famous scarves caught in a wheel.

For some reason, this quiz does not seem complete with Sam Kinison not being included.

I thought of Lindbergh too, but I like that Kharlamov was included because so many people probably don't realize how good of a player he was. Canada never would've won that Summit Series without Bobby Clarke nearly crippling Kharlamov in game 6, before that Canada had no answer for him. Jerome Brown would be another possible sequel inclusion, he would've been a HOF lock with a few more years played.

I think it's stupid to compare those who died in racing crashes and those who in public traffic.

I wasn't expecting this quiz to get a curator pick, and I certainly wasn't expecting it to get published. Thanks, Sporcle, for my first published quiz!

If Dale Earnhardt and Ayrton Senna make it onto this list, then you also have to include Scott Brayton, Gilles Villeneuve, Eddie Sachs, Swede Savage, Ronnie Peterson, Jochen Rindt, Mark Donohue, Peter Revson and Jeff Krosnoff.

Ernie Kovacs, the 1950s comedian, is another valid entry.
