One person killed

MATAMOROS, Mexico - One person died and 10 cyclists are in the hospital, after a Brownsville man drove his car into the group.

The crash happened 15 minutes after the cyclists started their trip to Playa Baghdad. A police officer was even chaperoning the group.

Jesse Campos, the driver allegedly responsible, was charged and is being held in a Mexican jail.

The 33-year-old claims he doesn't remember anything about the accident. Shortly after the crash, he said he was coming back from the beach and fell asleep. He said he woke up when the accident happened.

Toxicology reports show Campos had alcohol in his system at the time.

Mexican authorities tell NEWSCHANNEL 5 a female passenger in Campos's car confessed the two were drinking and partying the night before.
