On August 12th, 2004, the University of Toronto’s Blue Sky Solar Racing team was taking a victory lap—a long one, with six schools touring Ontario and Quebec to show off each of their solar-powered race cars. Andrew Frow, a U-of-T mechanical engineering student, was driving Blue Sky’s Faust II, a single-seat, wedge-shaped vehicle, covered in photovoltaic cells. At around 4:30 pm, witnesses report, Frow began swerving. For reasons that have never been fully determined, he pulled out of the convoy and into oncoming traffic, striking a Chrysler minivan head-on. The minivan’s driver was unhurt; Frow was killed instantly.
