His family won 33,000 euros compensation from Delgado’s insurance company after the firm acknowledged he had been driving at excessive speed and this could have contributed to the incident, El Pais reported.
“I’m also a victim in all of this, you can’t fix the lad’s problems, but you can fix mine,” Delgado told the newspaper…
The family said they had previously pitied Delgado for the guilt he must feel at killing their son but were now disgusted that his greatest concern appeared to be money.
In the whole world, no one is responsible for anything. Right?
Who is responsible? In pragmatic fact, the insurance companies.
That guy must have spent too much time with Americans.

Right you are! God old American Know-how has taught the world that …no one is responsible for anything… and why God gave us lawyers.
Blessed be thy litigation and insurance…
Cheers
PS: What, no slutty or suggestive remark…? 😉
There is a word to describe a person like this…..shit.
You forgot to mention he was going 110 mph at the time…
One persons’ reality is anothers..
There are worse people out there than this guy but not many as deranged as he appears…I hope.
Hey I thought Europe loved cyclists. Well maybe everyone except the fast car James Bond types….

“PS: What, no slutty or suggestive remark…? ;)”
Actually no, creeps like those deserve to be jailed and nicknamed Cindy for all I care.
What most of the media seem to have forgotten is that the accident was the cyclist’s fault – he ignored a stop sign and rode out directly in front of the car.

“…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
John Donne
If the cyclist was at fault then there is liability. If the cyclist was a minor then the liability transfers to the parents.
Tough. Look both ways next time.
Darwin award winner!
Cinaedh –
Truth never gets old, just the folks who quit hearing it.
If any mans death diminishes me, then being diminished doesn’t mean very much. I guess thats why they call it poetic?
The police made a number of mistakes when writing the report, they took by fact that the kid jumped a Stop and the driver couldn’t avoid the accident;
– The victim (Enaitz) didn’t jump the stop;
you have to see the stage of the bike – 00:40 to 1:26 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of2M2TwTBQY&feature=related it shows that the crash was from behind and not side/lateral as if Enaitz was crossing/jumping the stop (as the police said in the report)
– Check also where the “Stop” sign is and where the accident started from 1:47 to 2:06 in the video
– The speed of the car was way superior to what the police originaly said (the kid’s body crased (1)against the car, with its force the body jumped 18 meters into the sky, fallen down and crashed (2) again over the car’s roof and then jumped and crashed (3) to land (his body was like mincemeat) here the reason by the car was so severe damage. You have to check the car impact – until 1:39 in the video –
– The Blood Alcohol Testing for Drunk Driving, was done 1hour 30 minutes after the accident (not other test was done to the driver). The driver (Tomas) disconected the ABS of his Audi8 -he was never asked why-.
The police report had many mistakes, but the insurance companies (driver/parents) used this wrongly writen report to come to an agreement(where both parties were faulty) and both had to pay. Tomas is using this ruling to ask for compensation. But due to his greed and the media alert, there are many chances the case will re-open by the High Court in Spain and he might be presecuted for the death of Enaitz
Re-open the case (28/01/08) Juan Calparsoro, Head Fiscal of La Rioja’s Superior Court of Justice, opens a new investigation in the trafict accident that killed Enaitz Iriondo, with possible implications for the driver.
I agree with chris on #13 kind of
but still even If the cyclist was at fault this is kind of fucked up. Out of respect why not just let it go?
España…..¿PaÃs de Pandereta?

Maybe if one person reads it and understands it, that’s a good day’s work!
