(taken from Kitchener/Waterloo Record August 2, 1985 - reproduced without permission) 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. -- Kevin Chapman Computer Communications Networks Group Waterversity of Uniloo 'Loo, Ont., Canada
