Six people including a pregnant woman were killed when a rally racing car hurtled off the road and ploughed into a crowd of spectators in northern Spain, police said.
A video broadcast by Spanish television stations showed the car crashing off the tree-lined road in a cloud of dust in the northwestern town of Carral during the A Coruna Rally on Saturday.
“One of the cars in the rally left the road and ran down various spectators” as it sped around a bend about 8:00pm, a spokesman for the Civil Guard police force said.
“We have confirmed that six people died, four woman and two men. One of them was a pregnant woman,” said the spokesman, who asked not to be named.
He said about 20 people were hurt and several were taken to hospital, at least two of whom were “very seriously” injured.
The spokesman said authorities were investigating the crash.
