List of Dakar Rally fatal accidents
This is a list of Dakar Rally fatal accidents involving both competitors and non-competitors who have died during a Dakar Rally event.
Since 1979, 70 people are known to have died as a result of the Dakar rally. Among the 28 competitor fatalities, 19 were motorcycle related, 6 car related, 1 truck related, and 2 competitors died as a result of local rebel conflict. Up to 1992, collision was the most common cause of death among competitors.
Among the 42 non-competitor fatalities are those of the race's founder Thierry Sabine, 14 news journalists and support crew, 23 spectators, and 4 children.
The Dakar Rally has received criticism because of its high mortality rates, with the Vatican Paper describing the event as "the bloody race of irresponsibility".[1] The event received particular criticism in the 1988 race, when three Africans were killed in collisions with vehicles involved in the race. PANA, a Dakar-based news agency, wrote that the deaths were "insignificant for the [race's] organizers".[2] The Dakar organizers have not officially recorded or reported on African and Latin American spectator and innocent bystanders deaths.[3] As a result, fatality numbers for the Dakar vary from source to source, and bystander victims usually remain unnamed.
