A blue Chevy pickup truck plowed into the group of cyclists in Cooper Township on Tuesday, officials told WZZM 13.

After announcing that five people were pronounced dead at the scene Tuesday night, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting released the names of those killed on Wednesday:

Debra Ann Bradley, 53, a mother and former nurse from Augusta.

Melissa Ann Fevig-Hughes , 42, a mother from Augusta.

Suzanne Joan Sippel, 56, a data manager from Augusta.

Fred Tony Nelson, 73, a grandfather from Kalamazoo.

Lorenz John (Larry) Paulik, 74, also a grandfather from Kalamazoo.

Three were Catholic parishioners of the Diocese of Kalamazoo, WOOD TV reported.

Getting said four additional people were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and that everyone hit by the blue Chevy was an adult, contrary to earlier reports.
