Humans die every other second. It's far more special if a panda bear dies. And on top of that he's born black and white. Talk about commitment.

Juventus - Parma Called Off After Tragic Fan Death

This afternoon's clash between Juventus and Parma has been called off after a Parma fan was tragically killed on his way to the game.

News on the incident is still sketchy at this stage, but it is understood that the Parma fan was accidentally run over by a coach on his way to this afternoon's game at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.

There is no reason to believe that any hooliganism was involved in the fatality, but the decision has been taken to call off the game as a precaution.

By a cruel twist of fate this tragedy takes place on the return matchday from when Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri was accidentally shot dead by policeman at a motorway service station on November 11.

Full details of the incident will no doubt emerge later today.

The bus was empty at the time but was being used to transport Juventus fans to the game in Turin.

The incident occurred at a service area outside Turin on the A21 highway, according to ANSA news agency reports.

There had been skirmishes between rival supporters before the accident, in which a 28-year-old woman died.

Both clubs announced the postponement of the match on their Web sites.

Their statement said: "Juventus and Parma, with the approval of the appropriate authorities, have decided to postpone the game as a sign of mourning for the incident involving the Parma fan traveling to the Turin stadium.

"Since it was a tragic fatality, the two clubs decided that the conditions were not right to send the teams out onto field."
accidental or not, you dont cancel a game that millions of people around the world will be watching...this is insane !!

I hope the bus driver have made that by inattention.

RIP TO THE KID.
You can't know this. But even though if he did it on purpose you can't really blame him.

-He is doing his job.

-He didn't attack anyone.

-They attacked the bus

-He tried stopping but it was useless


What could he do more?

"innatention" isnt a word, but I think he means he hopes it wasnt intentional.
