Ride home ends in tragedy

A late night return from a party in Frýdek Místek, Moravia ended in tragedy for three young people who were riding home on one bike. The eighteen-year-old who was steering the bike appears to have lost control and swerved into the opposite lane straight into the path of an oncoming vehicle. He was killed on the spot, his twenty-two-year old friend suffered brain damage and a twenty-one-year old woman escaped with light injuries and shock. It is not clear if the accident happened due to a sudden loss of balance or whether the young people were under the influence of alcohol.
