US boxer Hannah Rapp has died after she was hit by a car while cycling in Texas on Saturday.
The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office says Rapp, 26, was cycling on a highway when she was passed by a car which suddenly came to a stop and then reversed into her.
She received treatment at the scene and was then taken to hospital where she later passed away from her injuries.
The driver, who authorities have named as 31-year-old Charles Medina, has been arrested and charged with manslaughter.
‘Investigators learned that the driver of the vehicle… had passed two bicyclists traveling along FM 159. After passing the bicyclists, Mr. Medina stopped his vehicle, reversed, and struck one of the cyclists,’ the Sheriff’s Office statement said.
‘Despite lifesaving efforts, she later passed away at the hospital. At this time, investigators believe this was an isolated incident.’
