Tragedy has struck an Olympic family, with professional cyclist Rohan Dennis being arrested for striking and killing his wife, cyclist Melissa Hoskins, in Australia.
Dennis, 32, who was reportedly behind the wheel of a utility vehicle in an Adelaide suburb, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life, according to local media reports.
Hoskins, 32, was rushed to the hospital but died overnight. Details on how the accident occurred Saturday night were scant.
Hoskins, a mother of two, raced for Australia at the London and Rio Olympic games. Dennis, who retired this year, medaled in two Olympics. The couple were married in 2018.
Dennis has been released on bail until a court date in March.
