A car driven by an alleged drunken driver plowed into a bicycle race along a
highway near the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday, killing one cyclist and injuring 10
others.
Juan Campos was apparently drunk and had fallen asleep at the wheel before
crashing into the race in Monterrey,mexico police investigator Jose Alfredo
Rodriguez said.
A photograph taken by a city official shows the horrifying moment of impact. The
force of the collision sent bicyclists and equipment high into the air and
Matamoros newspaper El Mañana described children crying, women shouting for
help and men trying to lynch Campos before police arrived to arrest him.
Killed in the crash was Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey.The crash happened
15 minutes into the race along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros,
authorities said

Just wondering if you live in the Rio Grande valley or you actually care more
about drunk drivers in foreign countries than the ones in your own
neighborhood???
FYI that area of Mexico between Reynosa-Matamoros-Rio Bravo is one of the worst
in the entire country..........

To anon -- I am sure dv8 would post pictures of his local neighborhood drunk
drivers if he had similar shocking pictures of the mayhem they cause on any
given day.
This is quite a picture, It is amazing that only 1 was killed. Yikes.

Hate to sound all PC, but who gives a shit about whether the driver and/or
victims are Mexican. They could be American, Australian, British, Chinese, or
Masai warriors. A person was needlessly killed by an idiot. We should be
justifiably outraged regardless of where in the world this occurred.
I am not American but I live in a western, mainly white, English speaking
country and I am sick of the way media reports world events, eg. item 1 on the
evening news: 5 minutes about a crazed gunman in an American school who shot 10
people. A justifiably newsworthy item. Item 10 in the same program, a one
liner about a flood in Bangladesh that killed thousands. Were not the
Bangladeshi's just as innocent and was the loss of life not just as tragic?

Reality is that it depends...if the dude has money he may get home free after
paying a hefty "mordida" to the judge, otherwise he's gonna be a
prison bitch for a long time
