    [FONT=Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]The cyclists were struck by a GMC Yukon driven by Carl Leslie Behler, 67, of Annapolis, police said. He was heading eastbound on East College Parkway in the area of Bay Head Road, police said. A group of seven bicyclists were riding westbound on East College Parkway. The cyclists were riding on the ridge edge of the roadway since there was no shoulder, police said.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]For an unknown reason, the Behler crossed the center of the roadway and struck the group of westbound bicycles, police said. Police don’t believe speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.[/FONT]
    [FONT=Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]The primary cause of the crash appears to be Behler failing to remain in a single lane, police said.[/FONT]
