GOODYEAR, AZ — A pickup truck driver accused of hitting a group of cyclists on the Goodyear Cotton Lane Bridge in February 2023 is now facing 11 misdemeanor charges of causing serious physical injury or death by a moving violation.
The group, West Valley Cycling, was on its routine Saturday ride when they were hit. Two people died in the crash, David Kero and Karen Malisa. A majority of the others were injured. Some of the victims in the crash are still recovering from their injuries. Goodyear City Prosecutor Justin Atkinson confirmed with ABC15 on Wednesday that his office filed the charges against Quintana-Lujan in late February, just days after the first anniversary of the crash.
Quintana-Lujan will not be facing any felony charges. In November, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced it declined to prosecute citing lack of evidence. While records show Quintana-Lujan had THC in his system, also telling police he smoked the night before, MCAO said Arizona law doesn’t have a standard for proving impairment by THC only.
