Chilean cyclist attempting 250,000 mile world record killed in accident

[Xircal]

Chilean cyclist Juan Francisco Guillermo, 47 who was attempting to set a 250,000 mile world record was struck and killed by a pickup truck in Nakhon Ratchasima province yesterday. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/22/chileans-round-the-world-record-cycling-quest-ends-in-death-on-thai-highway

Looking at worldwide road death statistics per 100,000 inhabitants on Wikipedia, only Eritrea and Libya have a worse record than Thailand.

I wonder how TAT will juggle those figures.

Tragic for sure. And not the first one like this to happen. But, this is already running in another thread in the news forum. So, let's close this one and use the link below. Thanks for reporting this!
