Car crashes into bike race

As the intoxicated driver plows into the crowd of bicyclists

Drunk driving is deadly and stupid.  Here is a case where an intoxicated 28-year-old plowed into a Sunday bike race along a highway near the United States-Mexico border.  His stupid mistake killed 1 and injured 10 others. A city official snapped a quick photo just as the car slammed into the racers and you can see bicyclists and their bikes being tossed into the air by the collision.

The driver, Juan Campos, has been charged with the killing of Alejandro Alvarez, who was 37.

Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34-kilometer (21 mile) race Sunday along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
