Muriel Furrer, an 18-year-old from Switzerland, was participating in the Union Cycliste Internationale championships in Zurich when she crashed. Officials reported that she &#8220;fell heavily&#8221; and suffered a serious head injury.

According to Blick, it appears she went &#8220;undiscovered&#8221; for an extended period due to being possibly unconscious and hidden in underbrush during rainy conditions. It\u2019s reported that officials and racers overlooked her at least twice before medical assistance arrived about an hour after the race concluded.
