" Former Covina Man Dies After Racing Accident
The tragic death on Sunday of Onyx Snavely, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Snavely of Azura avenue, came as a shock to a wide circle of friends thruout [sic] the Covina valley, who had favorably known him from early childhood.
The young man was fatally injured while driving a car on the Ascot speedway, when his machine crashed against the fence. The crash occurred when a right rear tire on Snavely's machine blew out, causing the car to slide along the fence, turning over three times and hurling Snavely into the outside field. The young man suffered a concussion of the brain, a fractured pelvis, fractured leg and shock. He lived only a few hours after the accident."
"Onyx "Bud" Llewellyn Snavely was a sprint car driver at the Legion Ascot Speedway in Los Angeles, Ca. He was critically injured after crashing during a 25-lap consolation race and died just a few hours later at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. Bud had been racing at Legion for just a few months, but he also raced at Tri City in Colton, Ca. The accident came on the third lap as Bud, in 4th position, attempted to pass another car. Bud lost control and crashed into the north turn guard rail.
Bud's parents were John C. and Eda (Edie) P. Kenyon Snavely, of Covina, Ca. His maternal grandparents were Gurdin and Destemona Wilson Kenyon of Ventura County, Ca.
