Chipmunk HB-TUM destroyed

I just heard from a friend in the group that locally based (in Lausanne) Chipmunk HB-TUM (Portuguese 1372) was written off during a trip "home" to Portugal last weekend, 3 October 2009. I am told the crew are only slightly injured, but the aircraft is destroyed. It was operating from Covilha (COV) during a show, turned low at the end of the runway and stalled into trees. Photos look bad.

I put this news on another forum too, but thought it belonged here also
