According to Wikipedia, T.E. Lawrence died in Dorset, England, as a result of a motorcycle accident. He swerved to avoid two boys on bicycles, whom he had not seen due to a dip in the road. He lost control, was thrown over the handlebars of his motorcycle, and died six days later. Interestingly, one of the doctors attending him was the neurosurgeon, Hugh Cairns. Sir Cairns was so upset by the accident that he instituted research which led to the use of helmets by both civilian and military motocyclists.
