There's a photo of the trike in the report.
I'm not going to reproduce it here, but basically it's upside down on top of one of those wire crash barriers. On the A9 yesterday tea time.
Looks to be in the central reservation of a dual carriageway. My guess would be they took a corner too fast or something came adrift on the trike & they lost control.
It's rare to see a trike crash, especially considering how popular they've become & how many are ridden by owners not used to handling 3 wheels.
Heartfelt thoughts go out to anyone who knew them.
Be careful out there guys.

That's almost incredible, reckon they must have had a blowout or something equally devastating for that to happen.
