Very bad news.

A mid-air on/near crosswind, apparently.

It's not that easy to collide on crosswind, partly because the aircraft joining has a great view of the airfield, and partly because there shouldn't be anybody else there - except another person also joining crosswind, or somebody who climbed up rapidly to circuit height.

Overhead joins are much worse.
