On this day.
« on: December 31, 2011, 06:18:30 PM »
1984, Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen crashed his Corvette Stingray on the A57 outside Sheffield.



Allen lost his left arm in the accident. Allen was on his way to a New Year’s Eve party at his family’s home when a Jaguar passed him.

The driver had been egging on Allen and would not allow him to pass. In his rage to pass this driver, he did not see a turn up ahead and lost control of his car.

He was thrown from the car, with his left arm severed due to the seatbelt not being properly fastened.
