His bike had an abrupt stop being hit by Palazzese who closely followed him. Palazzese was thrown in the air and fell down in the middle of the track and his purple works Aprilia caught fire. While picking himself up off the ground he was struck by Barchitta and Bonhuil who both crashed, Preining escaped unhurt.
The accident happened in front of thousands of people in the stands of the Stadium, three riders were laying motionless on the asphalt and no marshal nor doctors intervened. It was Virginio Ferrari who first stopped his motorcycle and tried to revive Iván Palazzese giving him immediate cardiac massage, but the poor Venezuelan was dead, having sustained massive chest injuries.
