Japanese tourist dies in bike crash in Bolivia
Associated Press
2011-06-02 11:39 PM

A Japanese tourist died in Bolivia when he rode his bicycle off a
cliff on a dangerous mountain path known as the Highway of Death.

Police say that 32-year-old Naomi Kanamura died Tuesday. Police Chief
Hernan Rodriguez says Kanamura was moving very fast on a steep,
gravelly grade of the road when his bicycle went over the side.

Rodriguez said Thursday that Kanamura received a deep cut in his
head.

The narrow, mostly dirt highway east of the capital of La Paz draws
thousands of thrill-seeking mountain bikers from around the world. The
route drops 11,800 feet (3,600 meters) over 40 miles (65 kilometers).
More than a dozen cyclists have died on the road in the past decade.

And the 13-year old likely did not even have the excuse of being
attacked with a HANDSAW.
