Man who killed 5 cyclists with truck might be out again in colorado

https://www.velonews.com/2016/06/new...ichigan_409356 I saw that exact same blue-camo chevy truck in laporte colorado on a bike ride today, the truck looked like the front had been in a crash and badly repaired. Laporte is full of people who are hate cyclists, so it makes sense. but it makes no sense. Even the wheels were the same, I don't know wtf it was.

It says that the driver was apprehended and the vehicle was disabled. I'm doubting there was any relationship to one in Colorado. Michigan is well over 1,000 miles from Colorado.

It might be an exact replica, I just don't know.

That man was jailed and the vehicle was damaged and not running, not to mention it would be impounded as evidence. The existence of that Colorado truck is coincidence and perhaps they were produced that way.

Agreed, But even if that truck was repaired and put back into service it would be with a different driver since the perpetrator was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
