Two cyclists are in the hospital after they were hit by a car while riding in Waxhaw Sunday morning.
Police in Waxhaw said Tom Willhelm, 56, and his brother Jeff Willhelm, 58, were riding on Waxhaw Marvin Road when a car turned in front of them.
The driver, Jared Smith, 17, told police he did not see the cyclists until he made the turn onto Exbury Gardens Drive.
He said one of the cyclists hit the front right corner of his car and the other hit the passenger door.
When police got to the scene they found the two men lying on the road unconscious.
Both are now at the Carolinas Medical Center where Tom Willhelm is in stable condition, but Jeff Willhelm remains in a coma.
Police have cited Smith for failing to yield.
They said the charge could change if Jeff Willhelm's condition changes.
