A Minneapolis man has been charged after he allegedly hit and killed a bicyclist while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Diallo Roy James Greer, 23, has been charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

According to the charges, on April 20, officers responded to reports of a bicyclist that was hit by a car at East 35th Street and Hiawatha Avenue. The bicyclist was thrown a "considerable distance" and ultimately died.

Police later found the driver, identified as Greer, and smelled alcohol on him, the charges said. Greer blew a .086 in the field and allegedly admitted that he was speeding and that he was looking down to adjust his climate control before he hit the bicyclist.

Greer's toxicology reports showed that he had marijuana, cocaine and alcohol in his blood at the time of the crash.

Greer was arrested after the crash and booked into Hennepin County Jail but has since been released.
