TL;DR

Cynthia Phelps, 64, faces multiple charges, including two counts of DUI resulting in death, after driving the wrong way and hitting five people at a Las Vegas bus stop, killing two and injuring three others. She was driving 20 mph over the speed limit and had a "strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage" on her breath. Phelps claimed she had a seizure and believed she made a U-turn before the collision, but evidence showed she was driving north on the southbound side of the road. She is being held on a $500,000 bail.
