A memorial set up in Cologne for the cyclist killed amid the street race. Photo: DPATwo young drivers were convicted of negligent homicide after their spontaneous street race left a female cyclist dead. A state court sentenced the driver who hit the woman to a two-year suspended sentence, and the other to less than a year suspended sentence. This was the first time a German court had ever found street racers guilty of murder. In June, three men were arrested in Mönchengladbach on murder charges after their illegal street race left a pedestrian dead.
