Another cyclist died on Sunday morning after being struck by a pickup truck in the Farallón sector, Coclé province.

Prevention campaigns, for both cyclists and drivers, have intensified in recent years after similar accidents that have claimed the lives of athletes and cyclists in general.

Sunday’s accident is added to others like the one that occurred in September 2015 when the cyclist and triathlete Mónica Licona died after being run over on Balboa Avenue, in the capital city.

Another similar event occurred in September 2020 when cyclists Juan Carlos Heilbron and Javier Espinosa died after being run over in El Carate de Las Tablas, Los Santos province
