Default Colin McRae feared dead
There's been a helicopter crash near his property. The police aren't saying anything till Sunday, except there was no survivors of the crash. The BBC isn't saying it directly, but they're stating that McRae is a keen helicopter pilot. The fact that he himself hasn't said "I'm alive" seems to confirm it.

Such a shame if it's true.

fucking hell. in such a great week for scottish sport this is a real downer. to be perfectly honest he is the only rally driver i know, purely from the computer games, but i loved them so much i took a real interest in his carreer and he really was a great guy by all accounts. very sad, very sad indeed.

RIP, great driver, but you have to say his career was a disappointment overall, with his talent he really should have won more than one rally championship.

A lot of the news programmes on just now are still claiming it hasn't been confirmed though...

A terrible shame if it is true

I think they were having problems identifying the bodies.
