Fozastuta Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just spoke to a mate in Scotland who believes Mcrae has been involved in fatal accident, Helicopter gone down close to him. Mcrae and co-pilot on board, now nothing has been reported saying whose involved, but the crash has been reported, and there's been a fatality. Sad who evers involved.

Fozastuta Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Sounds like he was right, Sky now reporting its Colins helicopter. The old Mcrae/Burns team have died young, how sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 It's not been confirmed that he was flying the helicopter although he holds a pilot license and it crashed on his land. It must be him surely, if it wasn't him he'd surely let his friends and family know he is ok? http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,70131-1284278,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip to all involved. Colin McRae was one of my hero's growing up I don't actually know why I just warmed to him and the rallying was so exciting. An all time great in his sport and a top fella whenever I saw him in interviews an the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
