A serious accident occurred yesterday in Hotton, Belgium, at the end of the first stage of the Arden Challenge, a stage race for amateur cyclists. Shortly after the conclusion of the race, in which he had already withdrawn, the 22-year-old Dutch cyclist Beau van Izerloo was involved in an accident with a truck, probably - as Belgian media report - due to a blind spot. Rescued and resuscitated, the rider from Willebrord Wil Vooruit passed away shortly after due to the severity of his injuries.
