Chevrolet Dealer Killed In Vintage Auto Racing Accident

An Ontario, Canada, area Chevrolet dealer president was killed in a tragic auto racing accident last week. Jeffrey Green was pronounced dead at the hospital after losing control of his car at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and hitting a wall.

According to The State Journal Register, Green was driving a 1972 Lola T300 race car when he lost control around a corner, exited the track and collided with a wall. Emergency crews pulled Green from the car and rushed him to the hospital where he died.

Green oversaw Green Chevrolet and Green Ford in the city of Peoria.
