Ah, yes I heard... It's very sad indeed... It was a few minutes before I passed by that descent myself, and so they blocked people at the rest stop at the top for about 10-15 minutes. By the time we were finally allowed to go, escorted by a motorcycle, an ambulance was already on site. We had heard it was really bad, but I didn't think he was gonna die
I know it sounds a bit cliche, but at least he went while doing something he loved!
