Two bicyclists are dead and 11 others have been hospitalized after a pickup truck struck a group of bicyclists in Goodyear, police said Saturday. The collision happened near MC-85 and Cotton Lane just before 8 a.m. on Feb. 25. A woman died at the scene while another man died at the hospital. The other 11 victims were taken to three different hospitals in the Valley, with at least one of them in life-threatening condition. "One of the deceased is a local resident of Goodyear, and one was visiting from out of state," police said. The truck driver, identified as 26-year-old Pedro Quintana-Lujan, was arrested on numerous charges, including two counts of manslaughter, three counts of aggravated assault, 18 counts of endangerment, and 2 counts of causing serious injury or death by a moving violation. He's being held on a $250,000 bond. It's still unclear what led up to the crash. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Goodyear Fire, Avondale Fire, Buckeye Fire, Glendale Police, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and Arizona Fire Medical responded to this scene. "The Goodyear Police department is deeply saddened by this tragedy and extends condolences to the loved ones of the victims as well as to the cycling community and the community as a whole," said Lisa Berry with Goodyear PD. The names of the victims have not been released.
