Rugby world in shock as All Blacks star Jerry Collins and wife Alana Madill die in crash

Former All Blacks rugby star Jerry Collins and his wife Alana Madill have died after their car was hit by a bus on a road outside the southern French town of Beziers.

Police said Ms Madill was driving while 34-year-old Collins was in the back seat.

Traffic officers in Beziers said their baby daughter Ayla was gravely injured in the crash about half an hour from Narbonne, where Collins had been playing since January for the town’s second division club.
