Overview
- Zurich prosecutors, who closed the case Monday, said there was no third-party involvement or criminal breach in the fatal crash.
- Furrer left the road on a downhill during the junior race and lay hidden in undergrowth out of sight of officials, spectators, and marshals.
- Investigators found that 85 minutes passed before she was discovered and treated, and she died the next day from a severe head injury.
- The race used no live trackers on bikes, which meant no automatic alert when a rider stopped or went off course, and such devices are not required in cycling.
- Organizers later added marshals, tree padding, and a large warning banner on the descent, and reports note the UCI introduced a GPS system the following year.
