Cycling star dies after collision
A Scottish cycling champion has died after a collision with a van while training on the A82 in Fort William.

Jason MacIntyre, 34, died while being taken to hospital after the crash near Carrs Corner at 1330 GMT on Tuesday.

He was hoping to make the British Olympic team and his death came a day after he had been given funding to train for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

Police said a 35-year-old man had been reported to prosecutors, who will decide if charges should be brought.

Mr MacIntyre was a triple British and Scottish champion time trial cyclist.

Last year he broke cycling legend Graeme Obree’s 10-mile time trial Scottish record.

The cyclist lived in Fort William with his wife Caroline and eight-year-old twin girls.

As always, our heartfelt condolences to his friends and family.

The man, the legend. The guy who started it all back in the Year of Our Lord Beer, 2000, with a couple of pages worth of idiotic ranting hardcoded on some random porn site that would host anything you uploaded, a book called HTML for Dummies (which was completely appropriate), a bad attitude (which hasn’t much changed), and a Dell desktop running Win95 with 64 mgs of ram and a six gig hard drive. Those were the days. Then he went to law school. Go figure. Flagstaff, Arizona, USA

  3. Don’t say there is no God. Maybe they needed him on their team. Full sponsorship there. Good luck.
