Vertical Aerospace Crash at Kemble

Looks like the Vertical Aerospace VX4 has had an incident during "an uncrewed test of the aircraft’s maneuverability during a motor failure test scenario". Looks like a gear collapse and some damage to the RH wing. Any other info?

Only last week they announced they (only) have £89.7m in cash left, surely this can't help...
