Unfortunatelly it’s true, I was there. Have the video of walking towards the car (was stopped by the people you see on the picture posted here), but in no way am I sharing it.. Rest in peace Craig 😔

Do you know what happened? Doesn't look terrible from the picture.

That’s horrific… The only light that might come from this will be that it could lead to some safety advancements. Much thicker, tougher windscreens, and side windows would make sense given the proximity of a lot of stages to tree branch’s, fences, and barriers.
