Ken Block rose to the top while promoting his Hoonigan brand alongside creating the much-loved Gymkhana video series. He also recently joined forces with German Automakers Audi & Porsche and was at the top of his game with nothing there to budge him from the summit.

Reportedly he was driving through a steep slope when unfortunately his snowmobile upended and landed up on him. Further assuring the calamity, Hoonigan industries released a statement on their social handles which stated,

“It’s with deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today, Ken was a visionary, a pioneer, and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband. He will be incredibly missed.”

Apart from Block, the snow pounded another star to its agony when Avenger’s Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner suffered a hapless catastrophe. As he was plowing snow near his house, the actor got into a dangerous incident, leading him into a very critical situation as a result of the mishap, consequently suffering serious blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries.
