A speeding car plowed head-on into a group of cyclists in southern Italy on Sunday morning, killing eight of them, officials said. The driver had been smoking marijuana, police said.
In addition to the eight cyclists killed, four people were injured: two cyclists and the driver and a young boy in the car with him, said Maria Dolores Rucci, commander of the road police in nearby Catanzaro.
The ANSA news agency said the driver, who was only slightly injured, was placed under arrest on charges of multiple homicide. A police spokesman who declined to give his name said the man, a Moroccan national, had tested positive for marijuana.

And watch as their anti-immigration crowd gets riled up by this.
Bad enough the ingrate killed people while driving and doing who knows what, but then the news media just has to further add to the instigation by adding that tidbit in their.

This Moron had lost his license 7 months prior to this massacre and he lost it for reckless driving. This fucking idiot of a human being made this happen not because of drugs but because of his own reckless stupidity that ruined many lives...

Yes, that too.
Regardless of nationality and other standings like that, this guy has just lost all "safe-cards" in my book.
Take him out back and be done with it.

It was reported that the drivers last words before colliding with the cyclists was, "Want a hit?"

That scene with all the bodies covered in the street with bike parts surrounding the bodies, is worse than a nightmare and it is real. So tragic, so horrible, so unfortunate.
My heart goes out to all of the families and friends of the killed and injured victims.
