PARIS – A prosecutor said that a hunter had killed a 34-year-old cyclist in the French Alps in an accident that seems to be his.
Thonon-Les-Bains prosecutor Philippe Toccanier said the 22-year-old hunter had been hospitalized for a shock after the Saturday night shootout.
Toccanier told The Associated Press on Sunday that the victim, a man from Wales living in France, was riding down a mountain by 18:00. when he passed near a group of about 10 game hunters.
Toccanier said the cyclist "certainly could not be confused with the game because he had a colorful helmet and a colorful mountain bike".
The British Foreign Office said it was "in touch with the local authorities" and provide assistance to the family of the deceased.
