Police said there was a head-on crash when a race support motorbike carrying a rider and a passenger collided with a triathlete who was cycling in the opposite direction.
A motorcycle rider died Sunday after a crash with a cyclist during an Ironman race in Hamburg, Germany.
Police said in a statement that the 70-year-old motorbike rider died at the scene, a 26-year-old triathlete was treated for severe injuries and a 50-year-old camera operator was treated in hospital for shock. Police were investigating how the crash happened. “At 36 of the IRONMAN Hamburg bike course, a motorcycle race vehicle, carrying an official race photographer, was involved in a collision with a race participant,” organizers said in a statement.
“It is with our deepest regret to confirm the passing of the motorcycle operator from a significant medical event. Our thoughts and care are with the family whom we will support as we are able while they go through this difficult time.”The 70-year-old motorcyclist died at the scene, police said.dpa/picture alliance via Getty Imagesdpa/picture alliance via Getty Images
