Shocking video shows driver mowing down cyclists on Texas freeway

A suspected drunk driver has been arrested after mowing down two cyclists on a road near Dallas Fort Worth airport.

Benjamin Hylander, 31, is accused of ramming his white Subaru SUV into the back of Cynthia, 68, and Thomas Geppert, 69. 

Shocking video showed the vehicle slamming into the back of Cynthia before driving over Thomas after knocking him to the ground.

The incident took place on Monday and was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by a user who confirmed the driver did not stop to aid the victims.

The video shows two cyclists riding side by side in the inside lane of the freeway.

Suddenly the Subaru emerges in the distance and is seen barreling towards them.

The vehicle continues to bomb down the road before ramming into the back of one of the cyclist, knocking them into the road.

The car then swerves and clips the back wheel of the other cyclist, sending him sprawling to the floor.

The vehicle then speeds over his limp body with first the front then back wheel, crushing the man into the ground.

As the clip ends the car is seen speeding off in the outside lane.

The woman who shared the footage online stated that the cyclists were expected to make a recovery.

She said the witnesses chased down the driver and convinced him to return to the scene.

Whilst police were aiding the victims, Hylander ran over shouting 'I'm sorry' at Geppert, according to the officers' report.

'Hylander kept apologizing for running over Geppert,' the report said. 'While Hyander spoke to us, his breath emitted an odor of an alcoholic beverage.'

While searching his vehicle, cops said they found six cans of Voodoo Ranger beer behind the passenger seat.

An image in the same post showed the suspect being led away from the scene in handcuffs.

Hylander has been charged with two counts of intoxication assault with a vehicle and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
