Pictured: Shocking moment drunk driver ploughed into group of cyclists
A cyclist was killed and 10 others were injured yesterday when a car ploughed into a bike race in Mexico.
The terrified sportsmen were hurled high into the air as a 28-year-old driver, apparently drunk and asleep at the wheel, crashed into the race near the US-Mexico border.
A photograph taken by a city official shows cyclists and equipment being thrown skywards like rag dolls by the collision.

Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34km race on Sunday along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
