from the photos and report in their local paper , it 'appears' a pick up truck has pulled out of a junction on a poorly sighted stretch of narrow country road and the GT3 has braked & ended up off the road into some trees .. if that is the case its one of those situations that could happen to any of us who drive quickly out in the countryside
You're assessment is about on the money. Only two people will really know what happened and sadly one of them is not here today. But having visited the crash site it appears that the Hilux pulled onto the road and partially strayed onto the oncoming side of the road. This limited the space for John who was approaching at speed. We know the rest.

I read the news of his passing whilst sitting in the bay window of a B&B looking out at his old CSL; now under my ownership. It all feels very strange as I know what John was doing that night, because when I get the opportunity I do exactly the same. Light Scottish nights, quiet dry roads. What petrol head wouldn't? Makes you think.

There aren't really any positives to be taken form the sorry affair but for what it's worth I know he loved driving the GT3 and he does not leave behind any dependents.
