A wrong-way car kills British athlete (Finlay Tarling) during Volta a Portugal
Finlay Tarling, from the NSN Development Team, was the victim of a head-on collision during the eighth stage of the Tour of Portugal, between Melgaço and Fafe. The driver that ran over the runner did not belong to the race organizer and entered the circuit in the wrong direction, RTP reported.
The runner was rescued immediately, but ended up dying from injuries caused by the accident.
The organizers of the 87th Tour of Portugal confirmed the death of the young British runner and expressed their "most heartfelt condolences" to his family, teammates, the NSN Development Team and all his friends and loved ones.
