A motorcycle rider was killed Sunday in a head-on collision during the Ironman European Championship in Hamburg, and a triathlete was hospitalized with what police said were severe injuries.
The motorcyclist, an unidentified 70-year-old man, died at the scene and the triathlete, 26, was hurt. The 50-year-old camera operator, who was in shock, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
“A closure of the racetrack was unavoidable in the area of the accident,” Hamburg police said in a statement . “The athletes had to get off in front of the accident site and cross over to the dike. Toward the direction of the city center, the racetrack was briefly diverted.”The collision occurred roughly 22 miles into the race on a stretch of road that was part of a loop in the course for the cycling portion.
