Debian luminary Wichert Akkerman -- aka Wiggy -- has been reporting on his
website this morning about a tragic automobile accident near Paris. At
first Richard Stallman was thought to have been a passenger in the car,
but later reports said he had already been dropped off when the accident
occured. Wiggy will continue to update his site as more
information comes in.

Stallman and the others -- Hans Bakker, Edwin Hermans, and a third hacker
identified only as Sebastian S. -- were returning from the SANE04 Free
Software Bazaar in Amsterdam. According to Akkerman's news page, Hans
Bakker is reported to have been killed in the crash, Edwin Hermans has
suffered a broken leg, and Sebastian S. is in surgery.
