Just goes to show, we are almost never safe

So as I am doing my morning routine, I stumble across this.

"A car plowed into a weekend bike race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing one and injuring 10 others, police said.


The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race, said police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez.


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 Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey".





Sometimes it is just baffling to me that people can do this kind of shit. I mean it is obviously early in the day, and it is a group of twenty plus riders and the guy passes out because he is drunk and plows into them. I mean holy fuck.

This guy should get the book thrown at him. These cyclist were doing nothing wrong and have no protection against an onslaught of a drunken driver passing out at the wheel that runs them over.

I feel bad for all of these cyclist to have to go through this. They did however kept the driver from fleeing until the cops got there.



Some people.
