70-year-old twins die 2 hours apart on road

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) - Seventy-year-old twin brothers riding their bicycles were killed, each one hit by a truck, in separate accidents hours apart on the same highway.

The first accident occurred at 9:29 a.m. Tuesday when one of the twins was riding a bike on an icy road at a road junction in Raahe, 370 miles north of the capital, Helsinki, Constable Pauli Ketonen said.

``Two hours 17 minutes later, the other twin was hit and killed by another truck nearby while riding his bike on the same road in similar snowy conditions,'' Ketonen said.

The second twin was killed at a junction about a mile from the first accident, he said.

Ketonen said it was unlikely the second victim knew of his brother's accident because police had not had time to inform the family about the first accident.
