Da fällt mir ein; Vor einigen Jahren wurde Bob Wollek in Sebring von einem Rentner über den Haufen geschossen - SEHR MERKWÜRDIG DAS GANZE. Wollek war gerade mit dem Fahrrad zur Rennstrecke unterwegs...
Na, wohl eher überfahren...(September 2001)
SEBRING, Florida (Reuters) - French sportscar racing driver Bob Wollek was killed on Friday in an accident while cycling near a track where he was to have driven on Sunday, police said.
Wollek, 56, was a veteran of the Le Mans 24 Hours race and won the Daytona 24 Hours four times
He was on highway 98, about 13 miles (22 kilometers) east of Sebring, when his bicycle was struck by a van driven by an 82-year-old man, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
The police report said Wollek had been riding close to the edge of the
pavement marking and the van, traveling in the same direction behind other traffic, hit the back of the bicycle.
Wollek, from the French town of Berstett, was taken to Highlands Regional
Medical Center with fatal injuries, the highway patrol said.
He raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours 28 times but never won it, finishing
second four times, including in his last appearance in the event in 1998.
Wollek was to have driven in a 12 Hours race at Sebring International
Raceway on Sunday.
The van driver was identified as John Rashley, 82, of Okeechobee, Florida.
