A former GB triathlete has been killed after she was hit by a van while cycling.
Rebecca Comins, 52, came ninth representing Britain in the 2018 Tartu ETU Triathlon European Championships, and 30th in the 2019 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Lausanne. She was riding her bike on the A40 near Raglan, Wales, on Thursday when she was involved in a fatal collision with a white Vauxhall Movano.
Following the incident, which took place at around 7.20pm, officers from Gwent Police attended along with paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service. It was later confirmed that the Caldicot resident, a mum-of-two, had died at the scene.
