Alberto Martinez Prader
Road accident
Alberto Martinez, a veteran sports reporter, was killed while reporting live on a cycling race when his car crashed on a sharp mountain bend.
The radio journalist was standing in the back of a convertible with a microphone in hand watching riders compete in the Tour de Colombia when the car's brakes apparently failed and the vehicle hit a side barrier before flipping over. Two other reporters in the car, a radio technician and the driver were injured and rushed to a hospital.
