Bond was set at $1 million Monday for a South Dakota man accused of driving under the influence and slamming into two Colorado motorcyclists, killing one of them.

Garold Lee Fowler, 46, of Hill City, S.D., protested the high bond Monday, saying he was a life-long resident of the area and has a wife and six children.

Magistrate Judge Shawn Pahkle said, "Sir, you're alleged to have killed someone," and said she considered his previous criminal record before setting the bond. If Fowler is found guilty, it would be his sixth lifetime DUI conviction, according to the Rapid City Journal. It would be his third DUI charge in the last 10 years, prosecutors said.

Authorities said Fowler was driving a Chevrolet S-10 pickup on Aug. 3 and rear-ended a Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was stopped to make a left turn between Keystone and Hill City in the Black Hills.

The motorcycle's driver, James Byron Cain, 53, of Englewood, Colo., was killed in the accident. His wife, Judith Buch-Cain, 45, was injured and treated at a Rapid City hospital before being discharged the next day. Both were wearing helmets at the time of the crash, police said.

Fowler is charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular battery and felony driving under the influence.

The Englewood couple was heading to the Sturgis motorcycle rally at the time of the accident. The rally started Monday in Sturgis, S.D., about 50 miles north of the accident site.
