Cheryl's life was almost cut short Saturday when a pickup truck rammed into the group on the Cotton Lane bridge just south of MC 85. She was one of 20 people riding that day.
Two days later, the victims who survived the crash spoke to ABC15 about the incident and say it"destroyed" their lives.
Police said 19 people ended up hit, with 11 going to the hospital and two people passing away. Cheryl ended up going to the hospital with a concussion but was released later that day.David Herzog, Cheryl’s husband, created the group 21 years ago. On the day of the crash, David told ABC15 he was at another event.
The Herzogs say they generally feel safe on that route; that’s why they picked it. However, Saturday showed otherwise. Quintana-Lujan also told investigators that he smoked marijuana 11 hours before the crash, too, according to court documents. Police took blood samples and are waiting for the results, which could take weeks.
“Please have respect for human life. You have a steel car around you and we don’t. We’re so vulnerable,” Cheryl said.
