Around 2 pm, a car passenger found two lifeless bodies near their electric-assisted bicycle in the pouring rain. The witness called 911. Despite the bad weather, the helicopter managed to land nearby, and rescuers tried to revive the victims but were unsuccessful. The dead bodies were taken to the valley.
