Statement re: Dan Burton and Sacha Dench accident
September 20, 2021
The team at Britishvolt is saddened by news of a serious accident involving Advisory Board member, Sacha Dench. Our thoughts and prayers go to Sacha and her support pilot, Dan Burton’s, friends and family. Dan tragically passed away in the accident.
At this time no words are enough. Britishvolt is a family, and we offer every support to Sacha and wish her a full recovery.
Sacha and Dan were on a mission to highlight the effects of climate change, and it is heart-breaking that such a noble mission was cut short in this way.
