Tuesday, February 24th: BREAKING NEWS

This afternoon, we learned that the driver will be charged with:
*4 counts of violating the 2 ft passing law causing serious injury (Class 1 misdemeanors);
*Careless and Reckless driving (Class 2 misdemeanor); and
*Illegal passing on a crest or curve.


Among other factors, here are some details that warrant a more serious investigation:
*The driver never slowed down, didn't brake, and never tried to move around the cyclists. She drove straight into them.
*While there was an oncoming car in the opposing lane, there was no immediate danger of the cars colliding. When the oncoming driver saw the crash, she immediately stopped her car and was still some distance down the road from the scene of impact.
*There was no sight distance issue; the oncoming driver could see the driver coming before the driver reached the cyclists; we stood at the bottom of the hill and could see far beyond the crash scene
*After hitting the cyclists, the driver drove another 400 feet or more down the road before stopping.
*After stopping, she ran erratically over to the crash scene and started yelling hysterically at the cyclists and telling them to wake up. She continued crying and yelling hysterically for an hour.
*According to news reports, the driver is currently is on probation for felony drug charges.

The police did not test the driver for intoxication.
