(Reuters) - Officials were investigating on Wednesday the deaths of five cyclists and injuries of four others after a pickup truck plowed into their group along a southwest Michigan road, the state's governor said.
The driver of the pickup, who has not been named, is in custody and charges against him could be filed on Thursday after the investigation into the crash is concluded, the local prosecutor said on Tuesday night.
Michigan State Police were called in to help determine what happened, Governor Rick Snyder said in a statement on Wednesday.
The cyclists were struck at about 6:30 p.
