The initial reports were that the guy was drunk and fled, but a more recent statement was that he didn't run, but didn't render aid. And also that he didn't "appear" to be drunk. Still awaiting toxicology reports. He was reported to be driving erratically by several sources 30 minutes before running down the group of riders.

I've seen his FB page. It made me ill. He's quite clearly a racist, sexist cretin. I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that he was sober and purposefully targeted the cyclists.
Seems in rural areas there's a proliferation of the rolling coal, I-hate-cyclists crowd. It was common in certain areas out in farm country to have young men in huge pickups try to clip you with their mirrors and then "roll coal".
