    Thumbs down R.I.P. Colin McRae

    Colin McRae has just died yesterday at 15:10 GMT time in a helicopter crash along with 2 family friends and his 5 year old son Jimmy. To those who don't know, Colin McRae has been a World Rally Championship champion in 1995, and one of the best drivers in the past 10 years.

    HELICOPTER CRASH – JERVISWOOD, LANARK

    Regarding yesterday’s helicopter crash at Jerviswood, Lanark, it has now been confirmed that there were four people, two adults and two young children on board.

    Although a post mortem has still to take place, the four involved are believed to be:

    Mr Colin McRae (39) of Jerviswood House and his son Johnny Gavin McRae, aged 5.

    Ben Porcelli (6), of Cleghorn Road, Lanark, who had been over playing with Johnny, and family friend Graeme Duncan (37), of L’Ile Degaillot, Faycelles, France.

    Chief Superintendent Tim Love, Divisional Commander, South Lanarkshire Division, said today:

    “We believe that the group were just returning from a visit to the nearby village of Quarter around 1605 hours yesterday, when it appears that the helicopter got into difficulty and crashed within the grounds of Mr McRae’s family home.

    “Our officers are working closely with the Air Accident Investigation Team who are presently at the scene.

    “Family Liaison Officers have been appointed and are with the families to help them through this distressing and difficult time.”

    Please note that the families involved are not available for interview and media are asked to respect their privacy at this time.
    Rest in Peace.

    I think he died as he wanted to.

    At least that's something.

    Terrible that the son went too, far too young.
