The incident happened just outside the couple's home in Australia last winter, Hoskins was struck by a pick-up truck and did not survive the injuries. Dennis was on that day arrested and it was implied that he was behind the wheel, although it was unclear what exactly had happened.
Exact details are not yet public however it is widely reported in Australia this morning that Dennis, a winner in all Grand Tours and twice time-trial World Champion - who retired at the end of last season - will be charged with causing death by dangerous driving and aggravated driving without care.
