"This was no accident": US cycling community united in anger after suspected drink driver ploughs head-on into group of 40 cyclists, killing one

A suspected drink driver crossed into the lane of around 40 Capital Cycling Club members on Optimist Farm Road near Raleigh, North Carolina, killing 63-year-old Patrick Turner and injuring others before fleeing and crashing into a ditch half a mile away. The club said the collision "was no accident" and that the driver made a "senseless decision" to drive in a way that put others in grave and mortal peril.
