Where can I find an article about this French road sweeper versus cyclist accident?

July 1, 2008 2:35 PM

Can anyone help me find an article published in the French newspaper La Nouvelle République des Pyrénées on June 23rd about a cyclist who was hit by a road sweeper a few days earlier?

I've found the La Nouvelle République des Pyrénées website but it doesn't seem to be there. An online copy of the article or a scan of the printed page would be great. If you're feeling really generous, a translation into English would also be much appreciated. I'm told there's a photo of the responsible street sanitation vehicle in the article, which I'd really like to see if possible.

Failing that, I'd be grateful for pointers to any other articles about the same incident. I've searched Google News etc. but had no luck.

You should be aware that the site you linked to is a reported malware distribution site.

That said, I couldn't find anything on news.google.fr by searching for 'cycliste.' I found several stories about accidents, but nothing meeting your description.

Here is one translated into English using Babel Fish. A tinyurl address because the actual address is very long.

Thanks wannalol! I've been informed that that article is quite accurate.
