A driver hit a group of about 30 cyclists in Wake County, North Carolina, on Sunday, killing one and injuring about a dozen. The 76-year-old driver faces impaired driving and hit-and-run charges.

- A black Infiniti crossed the center line on Optimist Farm Road in Apex and struck the cyclists traveling east, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.
- Patrick Allen Turner, 63, of Cary, was killed. About a dozen cyclists were injured, and some were taken to local hospitals.
- Donald Robert Morris-Jones, 76, was charged with felony death by vehicle, driving while impaired, reckless driving, seven counts of felony serious injury by vehicle and eight counts of felony hit-and-run. He was held on a $1 million secured bond (money or property pledged to the court for release).
