LOCAL TELEVISION OUT; LOCAL RADIO OUT; MANDATORY CREDIT

A pickup truck plowed into a group of bicyclists including children along a western Michigan road, killing at least five people with a weekly riding group, according to local reports.

Cops apprehended a driver fleeing the crash site near Cooper Township about three miles north of Kalamazoo Tuesday evening.

A witness, who narrowly missed being struck, saw the driver hit least eight bicyclists with the bike club, WOOD-TV reported.

"I stepped back, blacked out for a second, turned around and before I could say 'watch out' to the bikers, it happened," the witness told the TV station. 

The extent of the injuries are unknown at this time.
