This weekend there was some action at the Targa Tasmania Rally in Australia. However, all the happiness of the activity was completely drowned out by tragic accidents, which left three people dead in two days. Two of those three were Saturday. “These days have been devastating,” said Mark Perry, executive director of the event. In addition to the two victims of this Saturday, the third took place today, in the city of Cygnet. The rally lasted 2000 kilometers and took place from this Friday to Sunday. The three deceased pilots were in full competition when their crashes unfolded. The first of them was Shane Navin, 68, who drove a 1979 Mazda RX-7 with Glenn Evans, his co-driver. However, the NSW pilot suffered a fatal accident. Evans, who was by his side, was not injured. This was confirmed by the organizers of the Australian race in a statement. Navin was the first of three to die. Leigh Mundy, 68, crashed into Wattle Grove Road while driving his 2019 Porsche 911 near the town of Tasman on Saturday. In this accident, Mundy lost his life almost instantly. For his part, Dennis Neagle, his co-pilot, also lost his life. As the Tasmanian police confirmed, it is not yet clear what caused the crash, Spanish media Mundo Deportivo said. Statement “On behalf of Motorsport Australia, we offer our condolences to the families and friends of those who tragically passed away in Targa Tasmania. We also express our condolences to all relevant releases. It is a difficult time for the whole motorsport family and we continue to offer our support to all, ”said the executives.
