AVALON CELEBRITY INVOLVED IN FATAL CRASH



AP (Avalon Press) - Local authorities on Venus have reported at least one fatality after a hoverbike crashed into a passenger transport outside the Caiman Hotel and Resort.

Former Avalon hoverbike racing champion Cole Robinson has been identified as the rider of the bike involved in the crash. No other fatalities have been reported at this time and sources indicate that the passenger transport was in fact unoccupied.

Robinson had retired early from racing at the age of 30 after almost losing his legs in a crash during his last race on the Avalon Circuit. Since then, Robinson had been involved in charitable endeavors, including the Andromeda Refuge Relief, as well as endorsement deals with Zap Pop soft drinks and Distance Racing Supplies.

"He was beloved by so many and touched so many lives," said Robinson's agent and friend Calum Barclay in a statement released this morning, "At this time we ask that his fans respect his family's privacy as they mourn his loss."

Robinson was unmarried and is survived by his parents, both respected scientists in the Avalon science community, and two younger sisters.
