ROME (AP) — Police in Germany have arrested a truck driver accused in the crash last year that killed professional cyclist Davide Rebellin. Prosecutors in Italy say Wolfgang Rieke is being held pending possible extradition to Italy. He accused of road homicide and leaving the scene of a crash. They say he was arrested Thursday in Muenster on a European arrest warrant. Rebellin was one of cycling’s longest-serving professionals. He was killed Nov. 30 during a training run near the northern Italian town of Montebello Vicentino.
