The driver of the car that struck two Whistler cyclists, killing them and his passenger on Sunday north of Pemberton, B.C., had a suspended licence at the time of the crash and a history of impaired driving convictions.

Court documents show the 43-year old Lillooet, B.C., man has a lengthy criminal record and has been convicted of impaired driving at least three times, most recently in October 2014.

The licence suspension from that conviction was still in effect at the time of the crash.

Police have said they suspect the driver in the crash was impaired. CBC News is not naming him because he has not been charged.

The crash killed cyclists Ross Chafe, 50, and Kelly Blunden, 53, as well as the vehicle's passenger, 52-year old Paul Pierre Jr.

The cyclists were riding down a steep, winding hill on the Duffy Lake Road section of Highway 99 when the driver allegedly crossed the centre line and hit them head-on.
