While he was driving for the McLaren team in 2000, Coulthard was flying from Farnborough, Hampshire, to his home in Monaco on a private jet owned by Rangers chairman Sir David Murray.

However, the jet developed a technical issue, leading to an emergency landing in Lyon, France. It crashed and caught fire and captain David Saunders and co-pilot Dan Worley were both killed when the front of the aircraft broke off.
