Selecting spatial points within spatial line segments

Dear list members,

I have a spatial line (a road) segmented in 500-meters segments.  I also
have spatial points (roadkills) and I want to select the points related to
each segment in the line.  The points do not touch (intersect) the line,
but are close to it. How can I do this in R?

The project2segment() function from the spatstat package will probably do
what you want.
