I always thought it was a motor cycle wipe-out. If not, that would have been a more fitting way for James to go.Gary Gann
If I remember correctly, he died in a dune buggy he and his dad had built. I'm almost certain it happened right in front of Benton, he went down in the ditch after he lost control.
