A group of cyclists were hit in Cooper Township, Michigan. Five of them were killed. The crash happened Tuesday evening after several people had called law enforcement agencies to complain about an erratic driver in a pickup truck. That truck then plowed into a group of bicyclists outside of Kalamazoo.
