Canadian Grand Prix - Announcement
The FIA is sad to announce the death of a Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada circuit worker, at 6:02 pm.
The worker, a member of the Automobile Club de
l’Île Notre Dame, was the victim of an unfortunate accident that
occurred at the end of this afternoon’s Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada.
The worker was helping to recover a car which had stopped during the
race. The recovery vehicle had lifted the car to return it to the pits
and while doing this the worker dropped his radio and attempted to pick
it up. As he did this, he stumbled and was hit and run over by the
recovery vehicle.
The worker was transported via helicopter to
Sacre-Coeur Hospital where he was treated by the traumatology department
of Dr Ronald Denis, Deputy Chief Medical Officer and Dr Jacques
Bouchard, Chief Medical Officer of the Grand Prix. Unfortunately, the
worker succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
The FIA, l’Automobile Club de l’Île Notre-Dame and
the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada want to communicate their deepest
condolences to the family and friends of the victim. The identity of the
worker cannot be revealed at this time.
