1975 Photograph taken minutes after the body of Steve Prefontaine was removed from the scene of the accident that took the life of the famous runner. One of the most spectacularly tragic images we have ever offered, this shows the upturned car and fluid (most likely gasoline and engine fluid) along the roadway. This is the only vintage photograph of the accident we have ever seen!
