Driver who hit group of motorcyclist in north Phoenix has several violations, Michael J. Jakscht, the driver of a dump truck that struck and killed members of a motorcycle group in north Phoenix this week, was cited for failing to control his speed less than two weeks before, court records show.

Quote from the article:

Jakscht doesn't have a criminal record, according to a check of Arizona court records, but a complaint was filed against him on March 15 in Scottsdale City Court for driving with a speed greater than reasonable and prudent, court records show. The complaint said Jakscht was traveling 45 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone but failed to control his speed to avoid an accident. Court records show Jakscht had other driving violations in recent years. In 2005, Jakscht pleaded guilty in Scottsdale City Court to operating a vehicle with excess weight and was fined $113. He pleaded responsible to not having current registration, and the fine was suspended. The records do not indicate what type of vehicle he was driving. A year later, Jakscht pleaded guilty in Phoenix City Court to a citation for parts or accessories in unsafe or improper condition. A charge of no proof of annual inspection was dismissed.
