The cyclist of 45 years has died when hitting the curb despite wearing the helmet

We continue adding bad news regarding the safety of cyclists, since today we have learned thanks to the newspaper of Navarra that an octogenarian driver has rolled a cyclist in 45 years at a roundabout in Navarra de Estella. The cyclist has died, according to this source, when he hit his head with the curb despite wearing the helmet.

The driver of the vehicle, an 81-year-old neighbor of Ayegui, has undergone the corresponding tests for alcohol and drugs, giving negative tests in both; he is charged with a crime of homicide for gross recklessness. The accident occurred at 10.25 am when the car entered the roundabout while the cyclist was circulating through it, and was not aware of his presence.

This terrible news adds to the infididad of accidents and deaths that we take this year on the road, that's why from Triathlon News we are doing an awareness-raising work with a information campaign to know how to act when we meet a cyclist on the road.
