One source claim the driver (who was the engineer of Hope) had worked on the car all night and had fallen asleep inside the car, forgot to put the handbrake on and simply rolled off. According to the driver himself, he had not fallen asleep. The car was covered with a sheet and when it was pulled off, the press photographers immediately flashed and blinded the driver explaining that he couldn't see anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYX80ZfeU8&ab_channel=Thomas Sketches & pictures of Whisper I: ![[Image: sket1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/sket1.jpg) ![[Image: sket2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/sket2.jpg) ![[Image: sket3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/26849/25/sket3.jpg) |

Interesting... It seems hit twice. :O Looks like deformed already (on main photo), few seconds before crash on barrier. |
