I use to race road bikes and I use to volunteer my time to marshal at road races. While participating in those activities I always had a legitimate fear of the possibility of what is seen in this image.This image is of a horrible accident that recently happened on June 2nd down in Matamoros, Mexico as a 28 year old, drunk driver, fell asleep at the wheel and plowed through the front of a race pack.
One rider died in the accident and 10 others were injured. Looking at the picture I am amazed that only one rider died.
As I said in my title, this is one of those images that will stay with me for a while.
