Another Shot of Ward's car after being moved again to the edge of the service road.

Ward's car was eventually moved to the grass on the other side of the service road.

Apparent debries from one of the cars in the accident. This was beneath the bridge.

McGrath is consoled by Jones & Maley mechanic George Salih possibly after news of Vukovich reached him.

This shot is from 1955 and appears to be McGrath after he want out, sometime after the accident and before he returned to the garages.
