In Geneva, a head-on collision between a bicycle and an e-bike has claimed the life of a 51-year-old man.
Police say the crash happened last month on the Chancy road, when the teenager on a bicycle and the e-bike rider collided at a junction.
The 16-year-old cyclist suffered only minor injuries, but the older man was thrown into the side of a passing car and critically hurt.
He was airlifted to hospital and died two days later.
