BANGKOK (AP) — A Chilean cyclist's quest to bike around the world in five years has ended with his death in a road accident in northeast Thailand, police said Sunday.

Juan Francisco Guillermo, 47, was hit by a pickup truck and immediately killed Saturday on a highway in Nakhon Ratchasima province.

据泰国警方消息，智利吉尼斯世界挑战者Juan Francisco Guillermo（以下简称Juan）今日在泰国北部发生车祸被一辆轻型货车撞击身亡。

According to police and accounts on social media, Guillermo was attempting to set a Guinness World Record by cycling 250,000 kilometers (155,350 miles) on five continents in five years. His journey started in November 2010 and was scheduled to end in November this year.

Juan曾发起在5年内骑行25万公里（15.5350英里）、横跨五大洲的吉尼斯世界纪录的挑战。他的行程在2010年11月份开始，并计划今年11月完成。

Guillermo's wife from Hong Kong, who was on another bicycle with their 2-year-old son, suffered a slight sprain in the accident, said police Col. Torsak Thammingmongkol. It was not clear how long they had accompanied Guillermo in his round-the-world cycling odyssey.

发生车祸的还有Juan来自香港的妻子。据Torsak警察称，当时Juan的妻子与两岁的儿子骑行在另一辆自行车上，幸运的是她只是在车祸关节扭伤。Torsak表示不清楚母子两人在这场长途挑战中陪伴了Juan多长的时间。

The driver of the pickup truck was arrested on a charge of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail, said Torsak. The offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

货车司机涉嫌危险驾驶致他人死亡被逮捕，目前被批准保释。危险驾驶致他人死亡最高面临10年的监禁。

"It was an accident caused by the driver's recklessness. The road was straight and the cyclist was in his own lane," the officer said.

据当地官员表示：“火车司机的轻率导致了车祸的发生。事发的公路呈直线型，Juan也骑行在在自行车道上。”

The death comes as Thailand's government is trying hard to promote bicycling for commuting, sport and tourism.

目前泰国政府正大力提倡民众在通勤、运动和旅游时多使用自行车。

In February 2013, a British couple on a similar round-the-world quest was killed in a road accident in eastern Thailand.

2013年2月，一对英国夫妇也发起了类似的吉尼斯世界纪录挑战，他们在泰国东部的一条马路上也因车祸丧生。
