The sad irony is that he was driving to the ferry due to doctors advice not to fly after recent surgery.
My first reaction when I saw the BBC website this morning was "holy shit"

I remember having a similar reaction in a pub in Cardiff when the breaking news popped up of Gary Speed taking his own life. Still remember that day vividly
 
Shocking. RIP.

We're all tip-toing along a precipice and taking it for granted we won't fall. Make the most of it while you have it. I need to take my own advice.
Never a truer word. About 12 years ago I was diagnosed with probable bladder cancer, only 2-3% find it's not malignant. Operation just before Xmas, worst Xmas in years. January brought the news that it was benign. Dodged a bullet, so life takes on a new meaning. Definitely don't sweat the small stuff anymore.
 
Unbelievably shocking news.

There’s nothing more sobering than the death of someone who’s been immortalised in life.

It’s not quite as devastating to me as the news of Gary Speed’s suicide but it comes very close.

The photo of them celebrating their wedding with their children is one of the most heartbreaking things that I’ve seen in some time.
 
Awfully tragic. A blowout is something I’ve experienced a couple of times and there is no warning but I can’t help feel that being able to afford a supercar doesn’t necessarily mean you should just be able to drive one without some kind of extra qualifications.
 
Awful news - I can't imagine what his new wife, kids and family are feeling. Far too young.

I don't want to be 'that guy', but I'm interested what the accident report will say in terms of speeds. I've had a blowout once, doing about 72-73mph or so on the M4 (it was pitch black, on my way to the airport at 3am). Scary as hell, but normally pretty controllable if you're a confident driver.

Of course, shit can happen at any speeds...but it did look rather catastrophic.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one, even as a petrolhead. A little like they have with motorcycle licences for different engine sizes and rider age.

It's a bit mental that a 17 year old can pass their test and jump in 1000bhp car straight away.
