The driver responsible for the death of a Cedar Rapids bicyclist in a fatal accident in July turned himself in to authorities this week.

An arrest warrant was issued for the man after police were unable to locate him at several addresses. According to police, the man turned himself in after his friend saw a news report about the warrant and told him about it.

He was charged with failure to yield and having no insurance in his involvement in the July 29 accident. The crash occurred on C Street SW and left the woman cyclist with serious head injuries, from which she died four days later in hospital care.

A 22-year-old Iowa City man was arrested on Friday evening and charged with second-offense drunken driving after hitting two Iowa City bicyclists. The two women cyclists, aged 35 and 20, were taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for their non-serious injuries.

According to police, the man was stopped at the intersection of Bowery and Gilbert streets around 5:40 p.m., waiting to turn south. The two cyclists were waiting to turn west at the same intersection. When the cyclists entered the intersection, the 22-year-old man's vehicle hit them.
