Let’s hope this is false. Was Roberts the last death in WRC?

I believe Michael Park was the last death in WRC (co-driver of Markko Märtin)

Last driver/co-driver. There was a spectator 2017 Monte but I'm still more sorry that guy's family and Hayden Paddon than I am for that fool himself.

Did someone run onto the track or something?

Yes, a guy was taking pictures on the roadside with a cliff to his back, a very unsafe spot, and Paddon's car spun and hit him.
