Autoblog is reporting here that Colin McRae and possibly part of his family have died in a helicopter crash. The Times UK is reporting it here. While neither source can confirm that he died in the crash, it seems like it’s a pretty good bet.

It saddens me to see such a loss. A pioneer in the rally sport scene and one of the best drivers I have ever witnessed. Thank you for making me love the world rally championship. Thank you for causing me to spend the better part of a paycheck buying an xbox and steering wheel setup. You will be missed Mr. McRae.
