Ice Race In Canada Goes Wrong As 2 Cars Fall Through The Ice And Sink

A dramatic video posted on social media shows two cars falling through the ice on the St. Lawrence River at a racing event south of Montreal.

Footage of the accident from the weekend has been shared widely online since Saturday. The incident happened during the Kahnawake Ice Racing Series in the Mohawk community of Kahnawake.

Footage from a dash camera inside one of the cars that went under the ice shows how the event unfolded.

Partway through the competition, two cars are seen driving behind two other cars when they started to sink through the cracked ice.
The drivers of the vehicle that captured the footage quickly got out of the sinking car. The driver, Patrick Renaud, was captured on video walking on top of the hood of the car to get to safety. Vincent Noel was the second driver who plunged into the river.

Drone video also captured the frightening scene from the sky.
