In 1952, driving single-handedly, his car suffered an <a href="/wiki/Engine" title="Engine">engine</a> failure in the last hour of the race with a four lap lead. The failure was due to a bolt in the central <a href="/wiki/Crankshaft#Bearings" title="Crankshaft">crankshaft bearing</a> having come loose many hours earlier in the race, although many fans placed the blame on driver fatigue.

Running up the side of Macklin's car, Levegh's car launched into the air, striking high on a retaining wall, disintegrating and scattering components into the crowd.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Levegh was killed when he was flung from his car and his skull crushed by the landing impact. The flammable magnesium body of the Mercedes quickly ignited in the accident; the combination of the fire and flying car parts killed 83 spectators with over 100 injured. The race was continued in order to avoid a mass exodus of spectators, which would have blocked all access roads needed for use by the responding ambulances. </p><p>Levegh may have saved the life of five-time Formula One World Champion Fangio, who maintained that a hand-signal from Levegh to slow down moments before he struck Macklin's car was a deliberate warning, which saved Fangio from also crashing.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Mercedes withdrew from the race as a sign of respect to the victims, while <a href="/wiki/Mike_Hawthorn" title="Mike Hawthorn">Mike Hawthorn</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ivor_Bueb" title="Ivor Bueb">Ivor Bueb</a> continued in their Jaguars to win the race. </p><p>The accident was a major contributor to changing attitudes about the acceptance of danger in motor racing and an increase in the desire to make courses safer for spectators and drivers alike.

Likewise the small British firm of <a href="/wiki/Bristol_Cars" title="Bristol Cars">Bristol Cars</a>, whose entrants achieved a 1–2–3 finish in the 2-litre class at Le Mans that year, decided to abandon racing altogether as a result of the tragedy, scrapping all but one of their racing cars.
