An off-road truck has ploughed into spectators at a night rally in southern California, killing eight people. Twelve others were injured – with some airlifted to hospital. The driver had to flee the crash site when the crowd turned against him. It’s thought he lost control of the vehicle after mistiming a jump at the start of the race. The annual California 200 event attracts thousands to watch dune buggy-style cars leap different obstacles. (News quoted via RT.com)
