: Yesterday morning at 9.30a.m. two bikers died in a tragic accident on a sharp
bend on Airport Road.
The bikers were talking to each other while they were overtaking a lorry which
was travelling in the direction of Heathrow
Airport. Apparently they
were having morning exercise in preparation for the Tour de France. Two
motorcyclists were coming from Heathrow
Airport while looking at
a low-flying landing airplane. “ They were riding very fast”, an eyewitness
said. The collision between the motorcyclists and the bikers blocked the
traffic for more than two hours. Two policemen were investigating the accident
when we arrived on the scene.
