ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Services were planned today for the 21-year-old daughter of race car driver Al Unser, who died in a weekend dune buggy accident at a beach on Elephant Butte Lake near Truth or Consequences, N.M.
Debra A. 'Debbie' Unser, Albuquerque, was a passenger in a dune buggy that nosed into soft sand during a sharp turn early Sunday and flipped over, landing on top of her, state police said. She died instantly from a head injury.
A spokesman at Fitzgerald and Son Funeral Directors, where arrangements were beind made, said Unser, a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, and his brother Bobby were in Milwaukee, Wis., when the accident occurred.
They dropped out of the Tony Bettenhausen 200-mile race they were to have competed in Sunday at the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds and returned to Albuquerque, the spokesman said.
Officials at Truth or Consequences said the driver of the dune buggy, Richard T. Danfield, 40, Albuquerque, was treated for lacerations at a T or C hospital and released.
They said Miss Unser was sitting on the lap of another passenger, John D. Pricer, 37, of Tijeras, N.M., who was unhurt in the 1 a.m. accident.
Investigators said the accident, near a spot known as Albuquerque Beach, occurred when the dune buggy hit deep sand and went up onto its nose, throwing all three occupants out.
The vehicle then spun on its side atop Miss Unser.
