Rally champion Colin McRae dies in helicopter crash

[AfterForever]

THE former rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed and his five year-old son feared dead in a helicopter crash yesterday afternoon. The aircraft came down in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into flames just after 4pm.

That's so sad. His son was in there too. He was one of the UK's most successful sportsmen and certainly the most well known and popular rally driver.

McRae really got me interested in Rally.. R.I.P.

I went off rally after he left Subaru and Ford (although seeing him in a Skoda was fun)...it's a real shame.

They announced it during the F1 race this morning. What a shock! Very sad. From all accounts I've heard he was a super nice guy. RIP Colin.

No way. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

OMG. . .I didnt hear that. That sucks big time. He drove for Subaru WRT.
Between him and Travis P. the future looked great and more championships to Subaru's rally heritage.
Can you tell I liked him and Subaru rally cars? Here is my Impreza STi.

It is strange how some people live on the edge and some bizzare accident takes their lives. RIP
