A drunk driver has killed one bicyclist and seriously injured 10 others when his car hit a group of cyclists during a race on the US-Mexico border. [via]

The cyclists were competing in the third annual Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour.

I was hoping that this was Photoshop’d, but unfortunately, it isn’t. And there are more photos (some are quite graphic).

From the image description:

Cyclists were participating in a race from Matamoros to Bagdad Beach, when drunk driver Jesse Campos, a Brownsville, Texas resident, in his Ford Grand Marquis, license 659-FKF from Texas, impacted seven cyclists, even as they were being escorted by Local Transit Officials.

Man. That is one crazy and amazing photo.
