No evidence truck caused ironman Terenzo Bozzone's cycle crash - police

August 15, 2018
Terenzo Bozzone believes his rigorous training schedule may finally give him a chance to upstage the 12-time champion.

Police have ruled out involvement of a truck in a crash that seriously injured ironman Terenzo Bozzone as he was cycling in West Auckland last month.

Bozzone suffered facial and head injuries and concussion in an accident on Waitākere Rd near Kumeū on July 3.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jason McIntosh said today the crash investigation has been unable to confirm whether there was another vehicle involved in the cyclist crash, but there's no evidence a truck hit him.

"While it was initially believed that a truck was involved in the incident, police inquiries have concluded there is no evidence to suggest that the truck was involved, following a scene analysis and an interview with the truck's driver," the NZ Herald quoted him as saying.

Bozzone posted on social media after the crash that he couldn't remember anything about the crash but had three titanium plates put in his face and a wire in his hand.

Bozzone has won 37 international titles, including 23 Ironman 70.3 or half-Ironman distance triathlon titles, the Herald noted.
