This is a photo of Jose Rincon, the young teen who was killed this weekend.
The driver of the vehicle is in custody, according to this very-painful-to-read article. The bicyclists were not in the road. The motorist drove off the road and hit them from behind.
I think every person convicted of violating the three foot rule or hitting a cyclist should be sentenced to read the entirety of this heartbreaking blog about Noah Cardamon to understand the pain and grief they could bring someone by their actions.

Wow, she has already been charged with murder!? Is this "normal"? Around here (maricopa county) -- the pattern for traffic fatalities (of any kind, motorist, cyclist, ped... it doesn't make much difference) is they test for
dui and if they think they can prove it they bring charges about SIX MONTHS later. If there is no dui then homicide charges are *rarely* brought.
"Rumsey has been charged with 2nd degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of a fatal collision. They say they're investigating whether alcohol played a factor in the crash"
