Rebecca Allen and Jennifer Garvey were out for an early-morning ride in Fort Collins, Colorado when they were struck by a 2004 Saab driven by a 20-year-old man suspected of drinking and driving.

Both cyclists were wearing helmets and riding in the bike lane. The Saab struck both bicycles from behind, say Fort Collins police.
