Ojai (Indian word for “Moon”), California. Pete Conrad, the third man on the Moon with Apollo XII, as well as Gemini 5, Gemini 11, and the Skylab space station, is in a motorcycle accident aboard his Harley Davidson. He arrives at the hospital fully conscious with a fractured pelvis. He is mistakenly classified as a non-emergency case. By the time he goes into surgery, it’s too late, and he dies shortly thereafter.
