“Authorities said the truck driver remained on the scene and commercial units were called to inspect the vehicle’s brakes, tires and overall function following the 9:40 a.m. crash.
Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Illia said the truck allegedly hit a safety escort vehicle that was following the group of about 20 bicyclists. Officials had initially reported that four people were injured, not including those who died.
The group was on an informal ride to celebrate one of the bicyclist’s retirement, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Witnesses told authorities the bike riders were struck by the box truck after it crossed into the bicycle lane.
Highway Patrol officials said the driver wasn’t believed to have been impaired at the time of the crash.”
Sounds way too familiar!! Doesn’t sound like an accident. Terrorism?
What in the world is wrong with people these days that they can’t stay in their lane ESPECIALLY when pedestrians are nearby??? A coworker’s dear daughter was hit and killed when her car broke down on side of the road a couple months ago. I just don’t get it.
There is no bike lane out there but there are bicycle debris all over the traffic lanes. See the photos. That’s pretty damning evidence in defense of the truck driver.
