A Kansas woman was convicted Wednesday of attacking two cyclists with her motor vehicle, causing
them to crash.
The woman became enraged because the cyclists were riding two abreast on a two-lane highway. Kansas
State law allows such two-abreast riding.
The woman repeated passed the cyclists, shouting at them, and finally swerved abruptly in front of
them, clipping the wheel of one cyclist and causing both cyclists to crash into the ditch.
The cyclists, who were riding in the Bike Across Kansas tour, were not seriously injured.
The woman was convicted of aggravated assault and other counts and faces sentencing on March 31st.
She faces a sentence of 11 to 34 months.
