FEUERRIEGEL, Harry P.

Arizona Republic (Phoenix, Arizona) Tuesday, March 31, 1925, p. 16 Harry Feuerriegel Dies Of Injuries In Wreck During Auto Races At Fair Grounds Harry Feuerriegel died yesterday without regaining consciousness from injuries received Sunday when the car in which he was riding in races at the state fair grounds crashed through the rail and overturned. He was 21 years old. Death occurred shortly before 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the Deaconess Hospital, where he was taken after the accident. His four brothers were at the bedside at the time of death. His mother, suffering a severe nervous shock, had been taken to her home at 1101 East Polk street some time before. Hope of saving Feuerriegel was abandoned during the morning when pneumonia developed as a result of the flow of blood to his lungs from his tongue, one-half inch of which was cut off in the crash. His recovery would have been very doubtful even though pneumonia had not been added to other complications, it was stated. His injuries in the wreck included a serious concussion of the brain, fractured jaw, terribly mutilated face, dislocated shoulder, broken ribs, and internal injuries, in addition to the severed tongue. Funeral arrangements, it was announced, will not be made until his sister arrives from Seattle. She started for Phoenix Sunday night, when advised of the accident. Feuerriegel was riding as mechanic with driver F. A. Davis in car No. 13 when the crash occurred. Thrown out of control by a tire blowout, the car crashed through the fence, struck an embankment and was hurled for a distance of nearly 50 yards, turning end over end before finally landing upside down with Feuerriegel pinned underneath. Davis was thrown clear of the wreckage, escaping with bruises and a nervous reaction which kept him confined most of yesterday at his home at 317 North Eleventh street.
