james dean car accident
from james dean posted in movies by donkeyoti
On September 30, 1955, James Dean and his mechanic, Rolf Wütherich, were driving in Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder when they were involved in a head-on collision with a Ford pick-up at the intersections of Highway 41 and 46 outside of Shandon, CA. Wütherich survived the crash with a broken jaw, but Dean was pronounced DOA at the Paso Robles War Memorial Hospital at 5:59 pm. His last words were reportedly: "That guy's gotta stop... He'll see us."
In the 2001-2002 California Senate session, a Californian state senator initiated legislation that proclaimed the junction of Highways 41 and 46 as "James Dean Memorial Junction."
Apparently, the San Andreas fault is near this location as well.

The Timberline Lodge is a ski lodge in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
It is also the exterior filming location for The Shining- the 1980 psychological horror-thriller directed by Stanley Kubrick, written by Stephen King, and starring Jack Nicholson.
This is where all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
