Drunk Driver Plows into Bike Race (Picture inside)
« on: June 05, 2008, 11:04:16 AM »
Before I show you the story, here's the picture first.







...and now, the story behind that picture.




Quote
A car driven by an alleged drunken driver plowed into a bicycle race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday, killing one cyclist and injuring 10 others.

Juan Campos was apparently drunk and had fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into the race in Monterrey, Mexico, police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez said.

A photograph taken by a city official shows the horrifying moment of impact. The force of the collision sent bicyclists and equipment high into the air and Matamoros newspaper El Mañana described children crying, women shouting for help and men trying to lynch Campos before police arrived to arrest him.

Killed in the crash was Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey.

Campos told police he was an American citizen from Brownsville, Texas. 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 told the Associated Press.

The crash happened 15 minutes into the race along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, authorities said.

A total of 452 cyclists were participating in the 21-mile race, which was canceled after the incident.

The sick, sad part about this?
Taken at face value alone, quite a few people would see that picture as outright PWNAGE.

And now that you have the story behind it, it's not that funny anymore, is it?

As tragic as that is, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if somebody turned that into an image macro with a big old "PWNED!!" written on it.

I mean...they've done worse. I'm sure it's already floating around the internet.

Either that or "Hay guyz, wutz going on in this topik!!1!"
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.
