GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Police say the crash of a truck into a group of 20 bicyclists on a bridge that killed two and injured nearly all the rest of a Phoenix area cycling group apparently was accidental. The driver has told officers it happened when his steering locked. Goodyear Police Chief Santiago Rodriguez said Monday the cause of the Saturday crash is still being investigated. The department was waiting for the results of a blood test acquired with a warrant that would show whether the driver was impaired. The driver was booked on suspicion of two counts of manslaughter, three counts of aggravated assault, and other charges.
