Tragedy: Dejene Berhanu dies in car accident

Ethiopian elite runner Dejene Berhanu died in a car accident in Ethiopia two days ago. Originally a track distance and cross country runner, Dejene was mostly known for his consistent performance at major road races. His greatest success may be winning the Great North Run Half Marathon (Newcastle 2004) in a blistering 59:37.
May he rest in peace.
