THIS horrifying picture shows the moment a US man apparently drunk and asleep ploughed into cyclists on a bike race - killing one and injuring at least 10 others.
Driver Juan Campos, 28, was charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez, 37, along the highway near the US-Mexico border.
Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34km race yesterday between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
Campos, who police claimed was drunk and asleep during the incident, said he was an American citizen living in Brownsville. The US Consulate could not immediately confirm that.
"We are looking into the incident in terms of whether American citizens were involved," consulate spokesman Todd Huizinga said.
On a personal note, this is no joking manner, I went through a similar experience aged 13, when a driver ran through 14 of us on a cycling training session killing my trainer.
I remember he had empties in the car but can't remember if he was drunk, I remember seeing him cut one corner then swing wide on the next one cleaning us all (bar 1) up, I can still hear the screaming of my mates.
A bit serious on some light hearted comments but for me it's personal
points"!
