MRC des Collines Police have identified the victim of a fatal accident that took place yesterday afternoon (October 2) at the Luskville Dragway.

The driver of the vehicle, 69-year-old Dennis Black of North York, Ontario, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators were present at the scene until 1:00 a.m. tonight to better understand what happened.”

Police added that Black was a veteran driver with about 10 years experience and the fatal race was his fourth of the day.
