Katie: The ambulance arrived, coming from the top of the mountain, and a man and woman hopped out and looked over the edge. I ran over and saw ambulance lights flashing at the finish line, so I went to listen to the radio broadcast in the Summit House where I found George. I asked a Pikes Peak official if that should be concerning, and he said, 'No.' Then he said, 'Well, maybe' and ran away. Lindsey Smith: I was talking to Rennie (Scaysbrook) outside the Summit House right after he had finished, and I saw the helicopter start circling. I held my shutter down unsure of what I was even really capturing until after the moment had passed. In those seconds that the crash happened, I captured 22 images chronicling a man at the finish line lowering the checkered flags and grabbing his head as Carlin and his bike flew across the road and approximately 30 feet down the side of the mountain. Parker Seibold: I heard what sounded like a crash and saw Carlin Dunne and his bike both fly through the corner of my frame before disappearing over the side of the mountain. Human instinct led Parker and me to follow. The man at the finish line immediately started to yell into his headset for an ambulance and ran over to the outside edge of the road. I looked over my shoulder to see shrapnel, parts of Dunne’s bike, fly over the edge of the mountain roughly 20 yards before the finish line. I looked through my lens and saw the man waving the checkered flag drop his flags and raise his right hand to his head. Katie Klann: I could hear the final racer making his way up the final stretch. ![]() Here's what happened inside the hour without media at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, told by photographers Parker Seibold and Katie Klann, reporters Lindsey Smith, George Stoia and myself. ![]() However, the media at the time was more than 50 feet from the safety team and was never told to clear the area, just stop reporting.
