Talk:List of people who died in road accidents

Untitled
I merged information from Famous automobile accidents as a result of the VfD for that article. Note that I did some fact checking to be sure these people really did die from an automobile accident (Grace Kelly, who is already on this list, had a stroke while driving or riding in a car, but I think that counts). --Deathphoenix 16:06, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

What about Timmy Taylor of Brainiac?

Racing Fatalities
Any driver who were killed racing must be listed on the List of racing drivers who died in racing crashes page. Any found on this page will be removed. Willirennen 15:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


 * As the above applies, the Peter Brock will be removed as he was killed competing, not in a road accident as he is listed. Willirennen 19:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Rename?
Per the opening sentence, shouldn’t this article be called “List of notable people who died in road accidents”? --Ant (talk) 21:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Joe Rollino section
The reason why I took out the vehicle bit of the Joe Rollino section is because looking at it, I thought the vehicle section is supposed to be for those died driving or passengering that vehicle, as the media put it, safety standard for drivers and passengers are widely emphasised to that of pestrians; plus any pedestrian will be killed by any vehicle, why, because it is the carelessness of the driver. As for that entry, if a motorcyclist died, what are you going to put in, the bike the rider died riding on or the car that killed the driver.

I personally think the section should be reserved for those killed driving or passengering that vehicle. Donnie Park (talk) 15:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure. Thanks for the edit summary; I was kind of baffled.I suppose a definition for each of the columns should appear at the top of the page, and then the bullted lists and tables below can eventually be made consistent with that. --Dbratland (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Carbon Monoxide Suicides
Noticing Prince Christopher of Yugoslavia appears in a list of people who died in accidents despite the statement his death was found to be suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, I would consider this kind of death does not fall within the criteria specified by the heading and should not count for inclusion Such deaths would not take place driving on the roads but when vehicles were stationary. (Exhaust defects have caused accidents by causing drivers to pass out when driving; these would be countable as accidental deaths.)Cloptonson (talk) 21:32, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
