RE: Drunk drivers
MONTERREY, Mexico - A car plowed into a bike race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing one and injuring 10 others.
The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race Sunday, police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez said Monday.
A photograph taken by a city official showed bicyclists and equipment being hurled high into the air by the collision.
Rodriguez said Juan Campos was charged with killing 37-year-old Alejandro Alvarez of Monterrey.
Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34-kilometer race Sunday along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
Campos said he is an American citizen living in Brownsville. The U.S. 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.

This actually happened in Matamoros, just across from where I live on the border. It is all over the news, very sad event. BTW Mexico does not have the Death Penalty! In fact Mexico will not extridite if the Death Penalty is on the table.

RE: Drunk drivers
No excuses.... That is a freaking idiot! Drunk drivers that kill or harm anyone should be put away for life. Here in Iowa a guy I used to work with (very well respected) became an alcoholic and just last summer hit and killed a guy on a motorcycle in the middle of the freaking day! I ran into a few people who have talked to him or his wife and listened to how hard life is for them now. Please, give me a freaking break!!!!!!!!!! How hard is life for the guy and family he killed!?!?!?!??!
Don't care to see him, hear about him. He is dead to me.
