Mexico cycle race ends in tragedy

Tuesday, 3 June, 2008

One person was killed and 10 others injured when a car ploughed into a bicycle race on a highway near the US-Mexico border.

A dramatic photograph captures the accident, which authorities say happened 15 minutes into Sunday's 34-kilometre race along the highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.

Police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez named the 28-year-old car driver as Jesse Campos.

Rodriguez said Campos had been charged over the death of 37-year-old cyclist Alejandro Alvarez of Monterrey.

A 16-year-old girl travelling with Campos was also injured in the incident.
