Two Cyclists Killed In Two Weeks In Small Texas Town

For the second time in a week, a cyclist died in a car accident in Bellmead, Texas.  Eulogio Castaneda died in the early morning of September 27.  He was struck by a car and pronounced dead on the scene. The driver of the vehicle was hospitalized with minor injuries. The week before, a hit-and-run driver struck 14-year-old Jourdon Moore on his bicycle.
