Two bicyclists were killed and another seriously hurt after a suspected drunk driver plowed into a Halloween group ride in Montclair and then fled, police said.
About 30 riders were heading east on Kingsley Street near Tudor Avenue around 10:39 p.m. Saturday when a westbound car slammed into several of them, according to the Montclair Police Department.
One cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later. A woman rushed to the hospital died early Sunday. A third rider suffered major injuries and is in a stable condition.
One victim was dragged for more than a mile and then dumped in a residential neighborhood, KTLA reported. Police did not mention that detail in their statement.
The suspect, Valentin Alberto Rodriguez, 38, was arrested at his nearby Montclair home early Sunday on suspicion of DUI, felony hit-and-run and gross vehicular manslaughter.
