Colorado Springs police tell 11 News Barbara Thomas, 63, has been arrested for fatally hitting two cyclists with her truck Wednesday night on the west side of Colorado Springs.
It happened around 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of 26th Street and Westend Avenue.
Police say a group of about five cyclists were riding north on 26th Street when a truck heading southbound made a left hand turn and hit two riders.
The riders, 30-year-old Edgar Juarez, 30 and Jayson Kilroy, 28, both of Colorado Springs were pronounced dead on scene. Friends tell 11 News the men were avid bikers and worked together at Colorado Cyclists.
Thomas has been charged with Vehicles Turning Left (Illegal left turn), Vehicular Homicide, and Driving Under the Influence of Drugs. The suspected drugs are prescription medications.
Thomas was also charged with Driving with a Restricted License. Thomas was not wearing her required corrective lenses at the time of the crash.
