A Clearview, Ont. man has been charged in connection with a racetrack collision in Cayuga that killed a man last year.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say the incident happened at Toronto Motorsports Park on Kohler Road at a “sanctioned” race event on Sept. 19, 2020.

Investigators say 59-year-old Richard Ennest, owner of Mister Transmission in Burlington, was hit as cars were approaching a starting line.

Initially, Ennest was flown by Ornge air ambulance to an out-of-town hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The father of three later died in hospital.

OPP have now charged 68-year-old John Robinson of Clearview Township with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.
