Ken Block dies in snowmobile accident

Pro rally driver and Hoonigan co-founder Ken Block was killed in a snowmobile accident on Monday, Hoonigan and local Woodland, Utah authorities confirmed.

Block was 55 years old. A co-founder of DC shoes, he moved into the world of rally and quickly made a name for himself, developing the Hoonigan brand and creating the much-loved Gymkhana video series.

Prayers to Ken Blocks family and friends.

“It’s with our deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today,” a statement from Hoonigan says. “Ken was a visionary, a pioneer, and an icon. And most importantly, a father and a husband.”

Block was riding on a steep slope in the Mill Hollow area outside Woodland, Utah at around 2:00 p.m. when his snowmobile “upended, landing on top of him,” police said. Block was riding with a group but alone at the time of the incident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Block is survived by his wife, Lucy, and three children.
