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.
