Agustin Sagasti, a Spanish cyclist who successfully sued organizers of a 1994 race following a career-ending accident, has been found dead in his home. He was 39.

His death was confirmed Monday by the Basque cycling federation. No other details were disclosed.

Sagasti’s career was cut short after he collided with a car during the Tour of Valles Mineros, leaving him in a coma. He never raced again but won a payment of more than $500,000 after organizers were judged to have failed to control traffic.

Before his accident, Sagasti helped the Euskadi team to its first stage victory at the Tour of Basque Country. Sagasti was a Basque federation coach from 1996 to 2000.
