Rally car driver Ken Block, known for his dangerous and exciting stunt videos, has died after a snowmobile accident in Utah.
Pro rally driver Ken Block, who later became an internet sensation with his daring stunts behind the wheel, died after a snowmobile accident, his team Hoonigan Racing said on Monday.
"It's with our deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today," Hoonigan said in a statement on Instagram. "Ken was a visionary, a pioneer and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband. He will be incredibly missed."The accident happened in Utah's Wasatch County and the Sheriff's Office said that Block was riding on a steep slope when the snowmobile upended and landed on top of him.
"He was pronounced deceased at the scene from injuries sustained in the accident," they said in a statement, adding that he was riding in a group but was alone when the accident occurred. Having begun his rallying career in 2005, Block was named Rookie of the Year in the Rally America Championship. He competed in the World Rally Championship and won several rallycross medals at the X Games.
