Davie police Sgt. Mark Leone tells news outlets that five cyclists suffered minor injuries Sunday morning.
The group was riding along a state road in Davie, near Fort Lauderdale, when they were hit. According to authorities, the driver told police she was distracted but doesn’t remember from what.
Leone says speed, alcohol or drugs aren’t believed to be a factor.
Leone also says the driver reported that the sun was in her eyes just before the crash.
Very hard to buy that story
He should be arrested he was probably texting or watching his smartphone.
She should be charged with vehicular manslaughter, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to control her automobile. She can’t use the excuse about the sun being in her eyes, either, as that is why there are sunglasses on the market.
