Hit and run by drunk drivers

There were two hit and run accidents here in Lincoln Ne is the last couple of days by drunk drivers. Unfortunately one cyclist was killed, and the other is in the hospital with a broken leg, and several broken ribs.

The cycling community will be watching closely as to what charges are leveled by the Co Att.

So are we to assume that both drivers have been identified?

+1. Are they in custody, have they been charged?

I would assume so, if it was determined they were driving drunk.
