A camera catches a brutal moment on the road near Dallas-Fort, Texas.
Two cyclists (the camera seems to be from a third cyclists) were rear ended by someone in an SUV.
The video captures the driver speeding up right behind them, slowing for a moment before the driver, 31-year-old Benjamin Hylander, rams one cyclist.
He then turns the wheel and rams another other cyclist to the ground.
The car comes slows down, letting the fallen cyclist tumble a bit in front of him.
Then the driver floors it and runs over the cyclist.
Unbelievable!
Now reading some of the comments, it seems there’s not much love for cyclists.
I haven’t seen one in ages but apparently they get on driver’s nerves.
That’s understandable.
But ramming them and then running over one is on par for the insanity we see every week.
Turns out the driver was intoxicated, so he was arrested for DUI.
Still seems odd though.

Fox News report:
RVING, Texas – A drunk driving suspect slammed into two cyclists on a group ride at DFW Airport, and it was all caught on camera.
Some may find the video difficult to watch.
A man accused of driving drunk when he hit two bicyclists and ran one over had half a dozen empty beers in his car, according to police.
The video taken from the rear of another cyclist shows the man and woman being hit by the car before the man falls down and is run over.
Now, 31-year-old Benjamin Hylander is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and driving while intoxicated.
The two cyclists are both out of the hospital but have a lot of healing to do mentally and physically.
They were part of a group of cyclists riding their bikes near DFW Airport on Monday when a car slammed into them from behind and kept going.
Tom Geppert is an avid cyclist. The 69-year-old retired physician went for a ride with a group of cyclists around 6 p.m. Monday when he nearly died.

Moral of the story, boys and girls, probably not best to ride your bike in the road.
Never know if the driver behind you is intoxicated.
