A racing car drove into a crowd of spectators during a race in Sri Lanka
A racing car skidded off the track and into a crowd of spectators during the 2024 Fox Hill Super Cross race in Sri Lanka. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to local media.
According to the source, the incident took place in the city of Diyatalawa. It is noted that the driver of the car lost control. According to preliminary data, the accident resulted in seven casualties, and another 20 people were hospitalized with injuries. The condition of some victims is assessed as critical.
Fox Hill Super Cross is held on the territory of a former military garrison over rough terrain. This year the number of spectators is estimated at 100 thousand people.
In 2021, Russian driver Oleg Lozinsky flew off the track during the Picnic rally in the Leningrad region and almost hit the spectators present. The pilot turned over several times in the air, and one of the fans, standing on the side of the track, jumped away from the car a second before the collision.
