Rohan Dennis, an Olympic cyclist from Australia, pleaded guilty this week for his role in a vehicle incident that fatally injured his wife, Melissa Hoskins, also an Olympic cyclist, late last year, the local media reported.
Ms. Hoskins died in December 2023 after Mr. Dennis drove his vehicle with her on the hood and she fell to the ground, the police told The Australian after the incident. Ms. Hoskins, a celebrated Olympic cyclist, later died of her injuries in a hospital in Adelaide, a large city in southern Australia. She was 32.
Mr. Dennis, 34, pleaded guilty at Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday to an aggravated charge of creating a risk of harm, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.
