Former pro cyclist Melissa Hoskins killed in car crash

The 32-year-old mother of two died overnight.

Born in Perth in 1991, Hoskins won gold in the team pursuit at the 2015 world championships and rode in the team pursuit at two Olympic Games and competed on the road from 2012-15 with Australian professional team GreenEDGE.

Major crash officers attended the scene along with detectives from Eastern District CIB to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, police said.

Police arrested a 33-year-old man known to Ms Hoskins and charged him with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life.

He was bailed to appear in Adelaide Magistrates Court in March.
