Many charioteers did not die as a direct result of a crash. What was their cause of death?

Typically, the chariot driver wrapped and tied the horse's reins to one arm. Knowing he would be trapped if his cart tipped over, he carried along a knife so that he could free himself. There were situations when this was not possible, and the charioteer was dragged to death. Men were regularly employed to clear the track of bodies and wreckage.
