He died in a car accident, he was in a vehicle with Etsuo Kiso, they got hit gently by a truck, so they pulled over and checkd for damage but another car came and swiped them, Yokoi-san was pronounced dead after-wards which sends the chill down my spine. The other guy survived though with whiplash.

Damn, I knew it was in a car accident but not like that. 0_o

I know 13 years ago, but still I can imagine what games he would of made had he sat in the car about 10 seconds late or early than he did.
