According to initial reconstructions, the young woman was cycling downhill when she collided head-on with a car traveling in the opposite direction, uphill. The impact was violent: she was thrown over the guardrail, suffering very serious injuries. Rescue services with ambulance, air ambulance, Lavis volunteer firefighters and local police officers intervened on site. There was nothing that could be done for the girl: her death was confirmed at the scene of the accident. Last year the girl won the provincial title among the second year Women’s Rookies and this season she confirmed herself with important results.
