World-renowned rally driver Ken Block has been reported dead after a snowmobile accident. The 55-year-old American left behind a family of 4, including his wife and three children.
The racer and YouTube star was found and pronounced dead at the scene near his ranch in Utah, USA. While riding on snowy slopes near Woodland, Utah, his snowmobile "upended, landing on top of him", police exclaimed.
Ken Block was known as a lover of motorsport and different action sports, such as skateboarding, snowboarding and motocross.
His claim to fame across many-a-car lovers' memories would be the famous Gymkhana videos on YouTube. In those videos, he would race across different cities in style, drifting and jumping his way across the streets.
A long-standing member and even co-owner of the Hoonigan racing team, his escapades would happen using Subarus, Fords and Audis, mostly tuned by Hoonigan.
Rest in Peace, Ken Block. And our condolences to the whole Block family from the RaceDepartment community.
