Manayunk Bike Race

A car plowed into a weekend bike race along a highway near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing one and injuring 10 others, police said.

The 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race, said police.

Rodriguez said Juan Campos was charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey. Campos said he is an American citizen living in Brownsville.

Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34-kilometer (21 mile) race Sunday along a highway between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
