US safety agency studying Michigan bike crash that killed 5
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Federal safety investigators are taking a rare look at a crash that killed five bicyclists in southwestern Michigan.
Eric Weiss, a spokesman at the National Transportation Safety Board, says investigators were at the scene Thursday. He says the NTSB's highway safety staff could make recommendations to prevent a similar tragedy.
Weiss said Friday that it's been decades since the agency has "looked at bicycles and cars and safety."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Five bicyclists were killed and at least four were injured Tuesday when a pickup truck struck the group from behind on a two-lane road in Kalamazoo County's Cooper Township. The driver, Charles Pickett Jr., is charged with second-degree murder.
One of the injured was in serious condition Friday. The other three were fair or good.
