Rally Legend Colin Mcrae Died In A Helicopter Crash

Post by JM16 »

A helicopter registered to Colin McRae crashed 1 mile north of Lanark, Scotland on 15 September 2007, which is close to the McRae family home. Police have confirmed to Sky News that there were no survivors of this incident, however it is unknown if McRae himself was on the helicopter.

Initial reports are confirming that Colin was on board at the time.

It is now, I think. His 5 year old son was with him, as well as another adult and kid.

Shocking, really...

No its still not confirmed. BBC are saying no formal identification of the bodies has taken place. It is just suspected one of the 4 killed is Colin.

RIP Colin

Another great rally driver left us after Richard Burns (1971-2005 RIP). Shocking news! :(

RIP Colin

Another tragedy for british rally. Park, Burns and now Colin.

He was aggressive driver and crashed his car a lot but didn't die in car. Irony that he died crashin' helicopter.

RIP
