Colin McRae (1968 - 2007)

[elaj]

World rally star Colin McRae and his young son were feared dead after his helicopter crashed and exploded near his Scottish home. The 39-year-old driver was thought to be at the controls of the French-built Squirrel helicopter with his son Johnny, five, as a passenger when it crashed a mile from the family farm in Lanarkshire just after 4pm. Strathclyde police confirmed that at least one person had died and it is believed that there were four passengers on board altogether.

Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed to be his son Johnny, another adult - said by locals to be a school friend of McRae - and another child. McRae's wife Alison and their daughter Hollie, 9, were not on board, friends said.
