Carla Swart

Carla Swart (26 November 1987 – 19 January 2011) was a South African cyclist who won nineteen individual and team cycling titles.

[3] Carla Swart became the first cyclist to win all four U.S. collegiate titles in one season (2008).

[2] Swart died whilst training in South Africa after being hit by a truck.

It was claimed that she had looked over her left shoulder, as if she were in the United States, instead of her right, as would normally be the case in South Africa where vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road.

[3] HTC–Highroad Women teammate Ellen van Dijk dedicated her stage win and general classification victory at the 2011 Ladies Tour of Qatar to Swart.
