felony DUI.
A young man was arrested and charged with felony DUI after hitting and killing three bicyclists, one of whom died at the scene. The young man was allegedly driving wildly, weaving in and out of lanes, hitting medians, hitting a chain linked fence and then running through an intersection in Santa Clarita. The young man allegedly plowed into a group of ten bicyclists from Santa Clarita, hitting three of them, and then sped off.
Police investigated and found the truck with markings that linked the driver to the scene of the crime.
