Tulsa, OK – Woman charged with manslaughter in bikers' deaths

TULSA, Okla. (AP) A Sand Springs woman has been charged with manslaughter in the deaths of two bicyclists.

Tulsa County prosecutors charged 38-year-old Tausha Borland with two counts of first-degree manslaughter and one count each of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a fatality accident.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported Borland was driving a sport utility vehicle that hit and killed 33-year-old Christa Voss of Owasso and 34-year-old Matthew Evans of Tulsa.

Voss, Evans and a third bicyclist were hit from behind as they rode on the shoulder of Oklahoma 51 near Sand Springs on June 9.

Borland is currently free on $100,000 bond. Court records do not say if she has an attorney.
