The Peterbilt truck loaded with aggregate that Reginald Denny was driving. |
One of the enduring incidents in people's memories was the attack on truck driver Reginald Denny at the intersection of Florence and Normandie where the rioting began when locals threw bottles and rocks at passing vehicles; hoodlums dragged him from the cab and began a prolonged serious assault on him. It was all broadcast live from a news helicopter. He survived due to the intervention of another trucker, but was severely damaged from the episode.
