“Damnit not again” was my first thought as well.

About a mile from the route, if you’re familiar with mid-city I think it was in the area of Esplanade Ave behind Cabrini High School

Apparently it stretched for a few blocks. Wasn't just one group hit.

The area where this happen has cross streets entering Esplanade at angles. It is very hard to see cars or pedestrians when entering Esplanade. Plus people drive too fast on Esplanade.

Not sure I agree. Driven up and down that stretch hundreds of times. Always a clear path on each corner.

From the latest update on the Advocate, it sounds like he ran over a bunch of people in the bike lane.

Hearing that the guy hit two separate groups of people some of whom were on bikes. Apparently it was right by Cansecos.

Motherfrickers just refuse to stop driving drunk. It’s not that damn hard to not drive drunk. At least vehicular homicide is a crime of violence now so he’ll do a lot of prison time.
