When James Dean crashed he had two buddies in another car a ways behind. They got to the wreck a couple minutes after it happened and one of those guys was actor/driver Bill Hickman, the guy who coached McQueen in Bullitt and drove the Charger. He said he thought Dean was still breathing when he reached him. Here's an interview with him I'm about to read now.
