A woman who caused cyclists to crash in the recent Tour de France will face a lawsuit once she was taken under the custody of the authorities. An organizer of the said event confirmed the action, after a huge crash happened because of a woman who was watching the said event, according to a report from Insider.

Speaking to AFP, BBC reported that the deputy director of Tour de France, Pierre-Yves Thouault, said that they are suing the woman who behaved "badly" during the event. The deputy director furthered that the reason why they will file a lawsuit against the individual is so that people "will not spoil" the show for those who wanted to see the cyclists in action.

The coordinators of Tour de France aim to charge the woman with "deliberately violating safety regulations and causing injuries that might prevent someone working for up to three months."

To date, authorities were still looking for the woman who caused the crash, as authorities confirmed that she fled the scene after the commotion. Other details about the woman were not furthered, but she was reported to be wearing a yellow coat.

Tour de France: Woman Causes Crash Among Cyclists

The woman will face a lawsuit after she caused havoc and crash among cyclists while she was in the event on Saturday. The woman allegedly held up a large sign that was sticking in the middle of the road. BBC noted that the sign held by the woman has the words "granny and granddad" written in German.

The woman was allegedly looking away from the peloton coming towards her. At that moment, a cyclist, identified as Tony Martin from the Jumbo-Visma Team, hit the sign, lost his balance, then caused a chain reaction of crashing cyclists onto the pavement.

Because of this, one rider pulled out from the tour completely while eight other cyclists were treated by an official doctor of the event.

Tour de France took to Twitter in expressing their disappointment on what happened.

"We're glad to have the public on the side of the road on #TDF2021. But for the Tour to be a success, respect the safety of the riders," said Tour de France. Tour de France accompanied their reminder with a video of guidelines spectators need to abide by to ensure the safety of the cyclists.
