A judge in
Spain is deciding the fate of fifteen riders who allegedly
raced their motorcycles on a deadly stretch of road in
Mallorca.
The
strongest evidence was found on the popular video hosting
website, Youtube.
The images
shown were recorded on the same stretch or road between
Caimari and Selva, where two youngsters, aged 16 and 17,
died as a result of the races of the group, which called
themselves ‘Pikas de motos’ last April 4.
It was that
accident which led to the start of investigations into the
group.
The accused are between 19 and 31 years of age and if found
guilty they could face two to five years in prison. Their
motorcycles were impounded and the riders are waiting for
the judge to decide the case.
