Australian Cyclist Rohan Dennis Charged in Death of Olympian Wife Melissa Hoskins: Reports

The Australian Olympic Committee announced Hoskins' death on Monday

An Australian cyclist has reportedly been charged in the death of his Olympian wife.

The Australian Olympic Committee announced the death of 32-year-old former world champion Melissa Hoskins on Sunday, and soon after, multiple outlets including the Independent, the Guardian and additional Australian outlets such as national broadcaster ABC have reported that her husband, Rohan Dennis, was arrested and charged in relation to her death.

Hoskins, a two-time Olympian, was struck by a car in Adelaide Saturday and later died after being rushed to the hospital, per the Guardian. The Australian outlet ABC reports that Dennis, 33, also a former Olympian and world champion, has since been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life.

A release from the South Australia Police shared on Sunday — which does not name the victim or the man charged — notes that a man was arrested following a crash in the Adelaide suburb of Medindie Saturday after 8 p.m. The BBC cited the police report, noting that it was "widely reported in Australian media" that the identities of the man and woman were that of Dennis and Hoskins.

When reached for comment on Monday, a spokesperson for the SA Police told PEOPLE that the police force was "unable to confirm identities in SA." A contact listed on Dennis' website did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

As police share in the release, authorities were initially called to Avenel Gardens Road following reports that a woman was hit by a car.

According to the release, a 32-year-old woman who "suffered serious injuries," died overnight in Royal Adelaide Hospital as the 33-year-old driver, who was "known to the woman," was "arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care and endangering life" after an investigation.

"He was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 13 March," the release read.

According to police, the woman's death marked the "114th life lost on SA roads this year, compared to 71 at the same time last year."

Dennis and Hoskins, who wed in 2018, were retired with two children, per Dennis' Instagram account. He last posted a family photo on Christmas of himself, Hoskins and their kids in front of a decorated tree, with the caption: "Merry Christmas from our family to yours."

Hoskins, a two-time Olympian, represented Australia in the team pursuit event in both the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro games, per Sports Illustrated. She won a world championship in the event in France in 2015.

“Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around,” AusCyling chief executive Marne Fechner said in a statement Monday after her death, per the Associated Press.

“Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community.”
