Driver Plows Into Cyclists

I was planning to talk about this on the show tonight, but in light of the flood of emails I have received, the horrific nature of the crash, and in light of the Cupertino and Sydney incidents, I decided to post this on the site.

The following horrific photo from the Associated Press shows the exact moment a drunk driver plowed into the peloton at a bike race in Mexico yesterday. The driver, Juan Campos, was charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez and injuring a dozen others.

The racers were just 15 minutes into the 34 km road race between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros (just across the border from Brownsville, Texas).

KARE has video of the aftermath.
