Video: '( JAN & DEAN ) "JANS VETT CRASH 1966 " { JAN BERRY HAD A 180 IQ }'

(Tuesday, April 12, 1966, 11:53 a.m. PST) — Singer Jan Berry, 25, of the Jan and Dean rock duo, was seriously injured today when he crashed his Corvette into a parked truck on Whittier Drive, near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard (very close to a legendary “Dead Man’s Curve” that Jan & Dean had immortalized in a hit single).

Berry, who was in a coma for nearly two months, suffered extensive brain damage and paralysis and needed several years of rehabilitation.
