" At Ballystockart, where the road passed
close by another bridge on the now-defunct
railway, caught out a number of drivers. The
first Ards TT fatality occurred here in 1929,
when Frank Clark crashed his OM and
Grindlay’s Triumph Super Seven, the first
car on the scene, skidded into marshals
who were trying to move it. Clark and an
official were killed. "
