Former world time trial champion Rohan Dennis was charged with “dangerous driving, careless driving and endangering life resulting in death”. Australian media reported this on Monday.
Rohan Dennis was arrested on Sunday in Adelaide, Australia, following the death of his wife Melissa Hoskins. The 32-year-old woman was hit by a pickup truck near their home in Medindie on Saturday evening.
According to Australian media, Dennis and Hoskins had an argument, after which the woman jumped on the hood of the pick-up to stop Dennis from escaping. She was dragged and eventually thrown to the ground.
Hoskins, herself a former professional cyclist, suffered serious injuries. She was taken to hospital, where she died Sunday morning.
Her husband Rohan Dennis was the driver of the pickup. He was arrested and released on bail. He is due to appear in court on March 13.
