A car plowed into a bike race along a highway near the US-Mexico border on Sunday, killing one and injuring 14 others, the Associated Press reported this morning.
Police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez says the 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race.
Rodriguez says Juan Campos was charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey.
Authorities say the wreck happened 15 minutes into the race along a highway near Monterrey, Mexico, west of Brownville, Texas, and south of San Antonio, Texas.
The above photograph was taken by a city official.
Campos says he is an American citizen living in Brownsville. U.S. consulate spokesman Todd Huizinga said officials were looking into whether Americans were involved.
