Very sad news and so close to Chirstmas. Thoughts and prayers with the families of the victims.

Terrible news. Brings back memories of Abergele.

Not much information to be had in English, but there's this, for anyone who understands the Italian (mine isn't up to much):

Seems the driver was on drugs and had no licence. What can one do against such animals?

That's what they've just said on the French tv news. I was quite surprised as it was the 2nd item covered!

Jesus words fail me. On a separate point I'm surprised a) the photographer was alowed to take the pics an b) the mail was allowed to publish them, especially that close up of the back of the Ambulance where you can clearly see one of the victims :-(

Just read about it here, http://www.guardian....ts-killed-italy. Looks like marijuana is involved.
Don't know what to say really, enthusiastic club cyclists out on a ride on a lovely day by the looks of it and wasted in seconds.
Very sad.
Will be interesting what the Italian goverments response will be to this.
