I recently came across a Ronnie Peterson portrait in the Swiss powerslide magazine (70/1) where they mentioned a crash in Petersons first F3 season (1966) that nearly killed him. He somersaulted his car and ended up in a forest with his helmet broken, but unharmed. I figured that this was Karlskoga SM-Final 1966, the final race of the SM (Svenska Mästerskapet)

Maybe somebody of you has a photo or more info of this crash?
