On lap 81 of the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix, Bandini lost control of his car. The left rear wheel of the Ferrari struck the wall of the harbour chicane, sending the car skidding into a light pole. The car flipped and caught fire with Bandini trapped underneath.
Marshals rushed to the track to overturn the car. Bandini was rescued from the burning car unconscious. Shortly after he was removed from the car, there was a gasoline explosion.
Bandini was taken to a hospital with severe, third degree burns on over 70% of his body, a chest wound and 10 chest fractures. Doctors were required to wait for 24 to 48 hours to decide where to transport Bandini for treatment. Bandini died three days after the accident in the hospital.
After an investigation, the straw bales used in the event as walls were banned from Formula One.
