(Reuters) - British rider Daniel Hegarty has died following an accident during the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix on Saturday. The 31-year-old Topgun Racing Honda rider crashed on lap six of the race after hitting the barriers on the outside of the circuit. "The Macau Grand Prix Committee extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Daniel." The Nottingham rider was taking part in his second Macau Grand Prix after finishing 16th last year. Hegarty was the first rider to die at the event since Portugal's Luis Carreira was killed in qualifying for the 2012 race.
