Police say that 28-year-old Juan Campos, allegedly of Brownsville, Texas, was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into a bicycle race near Matamoros, Mexico, which is near the U.S. border. At least one person was killed and 14 were injured. The 24-kilometer race, which took place on Sunday, had only started 15-minutes prior to the incident.

When I first saw that picture on MSNBC.com last night my first thought was that it couldn't be a real photo. It's just so horrific that it had to be enhanced somehow. I checked, it wasn't.

Only 1 fatality?! Holy crap!

too bad that cop car on the right didn't attempt to block the car, rather than dodging it. he didn't even have his lights on.

I couldn't make out what the picture was at first. Unbelievable.

The worst part of the photo? The helmet just hanging there in the middle of the air over the left side of the car.

seriously, peekist... sacrifice a few dozen human lives to save a cop car. sounds pretty equitable...

what the hell who is drunk that early in the morning

Maybe the operative word is STILL drunk.
I bet the guy to the immediate left of the car was kissing the ground when he got off his bike.

In this case it wouldn't have mattered what side of the road he was on...he was bound to hit somebody...what a shame!
Don't Drink & Drive...it KILLS!
