Family of dead Macau Grand Prix rider Daniel Hegarty receives ‘fantastic news’ as insurance company decides to pay out
A trust fund for the English rider’s two children exceeds HK$300,000, but family says donors can have their money back
The family of Daniel Hegarty, the British rider who died tragically at last year’s Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, has received “fantastic news” after his insurance company decided to pay out in full.
And Joe Hegarty, the brother of the 31-year-old Nottingham-based rider, told the Post that donors who supported the family’s trust fund for Daniel’s two young children, 10-year-old Evan and Flynn, aged three, can have their money back.
Joe Hegarty confirmed on Wednesday that his brother’s family will receive £29,000 (HK$310,583) from Combined Insurance, the company who at first refused to pay up on his policy because he died outside Europe.
“Yes, they are paying out £29,000,” Joe Hegarty said. “We will be receiving payment within the next few weeks.”
