His career came to an end at the 1978 Italian Grand Prix where he was involved in a crash. Although he suffered no major injuries, Peterson passed away in the hospital as his condition worsened due to renal failure.
To honour Peterson, a statue of him was made in Örebro and also fellow Swedish racing driver Marcus Ericsson paid respect to him in the 2014 Monaco Grand Prix by wearing a helmet which was modelled on Peterson's.
