Rally Driver Feared Dead

BRITISH former world rallying champion Colin McRae is believed to have been killed in a helicopter crash at his home in Scotland, police say.

Four people died in the crash at Jerviswood near the town of Lanark in southern Scotland, Strathclyde Police said.

One of the other victims may be his five-year-old son.


ETA: Confirmed



Such terrible news. My thoughts and prayers go out to Colin's family and friends. :(

I have just this minute seen it on the news. I am really upset, I have been a fan of rallying for a long time and feel as if he is someone I know.

And so similar to Steve Hislop (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3113577.stm) - another sporting champion from the south of Scotland.

It's so sad. I'm not a fan of rallying myself, but my husband and son like it. It would be impossible to live in a house with two sports fanatics and not have heard of Colin McRae. :(

*many hugs*
