Peter Brock 'killed in crash'

September 8, 2006 - 3:07PM

Motor racing champion Peter Brock has reportedly been killed in an accident in Western Australia.

A car competing in the Targa West rally crashed into a tree at Gidgegannup about 30 kilometres north-east of Perth about 12pm, a Western Australia police spokesman told smh.com.au.

The car was carrying two people and one had died in the crash, he said.

The major crash investigation unit was at the scene, he said.

He said he could not confirm the driver was Mr Brock, although that he is being broadcast on Sky News.

It's yet to be confirmed...

The car was carrying two people and one had died in the crash, he said.

The major crash investigation unit was at the scene, he said.

He said he could not confirm the driver was Mr Brock, although that he is being broadcast on Sky News.

But if true... two Aussie icons gone in the space of a week. Absolutely crazy.

That is nuts :|

I bet the fact that Steve died not long ago has made the rumors a little stronger. I think had steve not died there wouldn't be headlines saying brock had died. But so sh*t if he has...

He was at our news Ltd office a couple of years ago and all the blokes in the office had a chat to him. He gave his time to us so freely despite some stupid and obvious questions.

Bugger this is crap!

Peter Brock killed
Motor sport legend Peter Brock has been killed in a racing accident in Western Australia. Brock, 61, was driving with Mick Hone in a Daytona Coupe in the Targa West tarmac rally around the north-eastern outskirts of Perth. Hone has been taken to hospital in a stable condition. According to reports just in, Brock's car collided with a tree at about 1:50pm (AEST). The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport says it will conduct a full investigation into the incident. Brock rose to fame in touring car racing, dominating the Bathurst 1000 for over a decade. He achieved six Bathurst 1000 wins in seven years, including victory in the 1979 event, which he won by a record six laps. He retired from full-time driving in 1997. He was Australia's most famous motor sport identity and in recent years became a leading advocate of road safety. Brock was married with three children.

I was in a state of total shock when i heard the news. Its been one hell of a week. I still remember the old footage of Brocky in his Torana carving up the Mount. It will be a sombre affair atop the mountain in 3 weeks time.

RIP Brocky - my deepest condolences to his family.
