Tragic !
Am I right in assuming he was off roading on his own at night and in the dark?
Obviously thoughts are with his family.D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo

It looks as though he was driving the track at night, but no other details released. IMO there is nothing wrong with green laning in the dark so long as the additional risks are all taken into account.

Not sure if he was alone or it means there were no other vehicles involved in the accidentCheers Ian

90 tray back. Looks like the cage held up so have to assume injuries were predominantly from contract with various hard surfaces within the vehicle.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

know this was a while ago and tragic accident , but belive the driver was not wering his seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle , even more tragic that he spent all that time and money making that tray back safe with a cage that looks like it stood up to the roll very well and a few £ of standard fittmet seat belt could possably have saved him
