A ghost bike is displayed Wednesday as a memorial in Cooper Township, Mich., where five bicyclists where killed and four where injured by an oncoming vehicle Tuesday. A prosecutor said police were seeking a pickup truck due to reports that it was driving erratically minutes before the bicyclists were struck and killed. The driver of the pickup fled from the wrecked vehicle, but police arrested him a short time later, the prosecutor said.
