According to the Hamilton Spectator, an 81-year-old cyclist is among three people killed in a horrific roadway tragedy on Friday.
Tong Vi Duong was the first killed in a series of crashes blamed on Allan Maki, a 40-year-old geography teacher who was at the wheel of his SUV. The Spec story talks about Maki being diabetic, and says Maki may have suffered a medical emergency, but doesn't really indicate whether diabetes was the factor.
After Duong was hit, and thrown through the air to the pavement, the SUV dragged Duong's bike for about 15 metres before hitting a small car, pushing it into the path of a pickup truck. The couple inside the car, Hannah Gordon-Roche and Jeffery Roche, were killed.
Although the accident is still being investigated, Maki has been charged with three counts of criminal negligence causing death and three counts of dangerous driving causing death.
