Tragedy in Ecuador
Professional cyclist (24) hit by van – dead
Ecuador mourns the death of Kevin Pozo! The professional cyclist died at the age of just 24 after colliding with a van during training.
According to local reports, Pozo had been riding in the town of El Juncal in the Andean province of Imbabura on Thursday when he was hit head-on by a small truck. He succumbed to his injuries a day later in hospital.
The driver of the vehicle, who had apparently left his lane, was arrested by the police and taken to Bolivar, according to reports.
Carapaz bids farewell
In 2021, Pozo finished twelfth in the national cycling championship and won the "Vuelta a Colombia" in the same year. In addition to numerous fans who shared their condolences, Richard Carapaz, Olympic champion in Tokyo, also wrote on X: "Deeply saddened by the death of our colleague Kevin Pozo, who was run over on our roads while pursuing his dreams on his bike. I would like to express my deepest condolences to his family, colleagues and friends."
