	PROBE INTO DEATHS OF THREE CYCLISTS TO TAKE TWO WEEKS

	CALGARY(CP)- It will be at least two weeks before an
	investigation is completed into Monday's fatal crash
	involving a car and a group of 19 young cyclists near
	Calgary, RCMP said Thursday.
		Two teenaged girls from Calgary and one from
	the San Francisco area of the United States died when
	a car plowed into cyclists of the shoulder of the
	Trans-Canada Highway, 20 kilometres west of Calgary.
		The 17-year-old Calgarian driving the car was
	questioned by RCMP but never arrested.  Police said 
	no drugs or alcohol were involved in the accident.
		However, RCMP Cpl. Barry Hornung said Thursday
	there are aspects of the investigation which will take
	at least tso weeks.
		He said the provincial Attorney-General's
	Department will likely be consulted about possible 
	laying of charges.
		The cyclists were on the first day of a five-
	day cycle-camping trip organized through the Calgary
	parks and recreation department.
		They were stopped on a designated cycle path
	on the shoulder of the highway when a car swerved into
	them, hurling several into a van at the front of the 
	group.
		Three were killed and six injured.  Five of the 
	injured have been released from hospital but one remains
	in Calgary hospital in satisfactory condition.
