Default Crazy Truck Driver Takes out Race Presentation

During stage 5 of the Giro Della Toscana, just before the award
presentation, some truck driver who has nothing to do with the race got onto
the course somehow and drove across the finish line. While doing so, he took
out the banner, the PA equipment and 100 meters of fencing. I haven't seen
any photos or the offical story yet, maybe in the local papers of the
Tuscany region of Lucca around Capannori. The damages are estimated around
40,000 Euros.

Calling this truck driver "crazy" is a bit presumptuous. And like
General Turgidson, I hate to judge before all the facts are in.
