From the article:

"An inquiry into the deaths of a rally car champion and three others in a helicopter crash has concluded that it could have been avoided.

Colin McRae's aircraft came down at high speed near to his Lanark home.

The 39-year-old who was piloting the machine died with his son Johnny, five, Ben Porcelli, six, and Graeme Duncan.

Sheriff Nikola Stewart said the 2007 crash could have been avoided had Mr McRae not engaged in low level flying "when it was unnecessary and unsafe"."
