On This Day 1977: T-Rex singer killed in car smash

Pop star Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash in south-west London.

The 29-year-old former T-Rex singer was killed instantly when the car (a purple 1275GT Mini), being driven by his girlfriend, Gloria Jones, left the road and hit a tree in Barnes.
