Just caught the tailend of the story on CHCH news. Apparently he ran into one of the buildings at the Dunneville Autodrone. I can't find any more info on this.

RIP

He was from Mississauga and he drove a 91 Miata. It makes me wonder if it was a guy that lives near my parent's house. I used to see an older guy driving a Miata on 10th line all the time when I lived with my parent's. He drove that car in the rain, snow or shine, and almost always had the top down, even in the winter! He always struck me of the kind of guy who might be into racing his car, he just looked like a real enthusiast.

Whoever it was, it's still sad

I have no idea how it's possible to hit a building at Dunnville...

It must have been a medical condition or something b/c you can't really lose control and hit a building at Dunnville.

They are completing an autopsy today. Sadly it was probably a Stroke or Heart Attack that was the cause

Very unfortunately however at least he was doing something he enjoyed.

RIP

I don't think the report was at the scene at all, there's no building to hit at Dunnville. If he took down the office, he would have taken down many parked cars before that.
