Tony Quinones, of Santa Fe, New Mexico<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-basil-v-.r2.html">,</a> told the New York Times that he had been riding for around six minutes with different cyclists over the age of 55 when a dark pickup that had been driving the other way got more than three paths and made a beeline for the cyclists<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-fortaleza-v-f2.html">.</a>
Quinones said he expected the driver was moving toward a parking area. All things being equal, the driver blasted through the cyclists in front of the 55-year-old Quinones<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-fortaleza-v-f3.html">.</a>
"He drove his truck straightforwardly and purposefully into our gathering, and you could hear him speed up," Quinones said, adding that he saw bicycles and bodies flying<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-santos-v-s1.html">.</a>
After the driver hit a utility pole, cyclists approached the truck and began beating on the windows<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-basil-v-.r3.html">,</a> shouting at the driver to get out, Quinones told the Times<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-santos-v-s2.html">.</a>1
Yet rather than stop, he said the driver hit the gas pedal and retreated, drove as it were, made a U-turn and afterward made a beeline for the cyclists<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-santos-v-s3.html">.</a>
Payne said the driver didn't consent when officials attempted to capture him, yet the conditions of the shooting were not promptly delivered<a href="https://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/stp/video-santos-v-s4.html">.</a>
The Navajo County sheriff's office and Arizona Department of Public Safety were assisting with the examination<a href="https://navalnuclearlab.energy.gov/wp-content/bwq/video-clipper-v-suns-liv-us02-00.html">.</a>
