2 Dead After Rio de Janeiro Bike Path Collapses
A bike path in Rio de Janeiro collapsed on Thursday, killing two people and injuring three, as the city prepares to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. The city said a strong wave caused a 164-foot piece of the seaside path to detach and fall to the rocks and beach below, CNN reported. The bike path, which cost 12 million, was part of renovation projects by the city in preparation for the Summer Games. The Olympic torch was lit in Greece on Thursday, and it will arrive in Rio de Janeiro in August, when the games begin. City officials said engineers who designed the path will now "check and revise" it, CNN reported
