***DESCRIPTION***

The 2 Ferrari driven by Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn were desperately chasing Tony Brooks' Vanwall. On the 10th lap of the race at Pflanzgarten Collins entered too wide (probably due to sudden oversteer) missing the first apex of the corner and passing on the dusty line. His Ferrari hit the bank and rolled over throwing Collins out of the cockpit. He was transported to a hospital in Bonn but passed away that same day.
