At least eight people were killed and 12 others were injured after a vehicle ploughed into a crowd of spectators at a popular off-road race in Southern California, MSNBC television reported.
The accident occurred on Saturday at 19:40 at a race called the California 200, which is traditionally held in Soggy Dry Lake Bed near the city of Lucerne Valley in the Mojave Desert, the report said.
The dry lake is located about 165km northeast of Los Angeles.
The tragedy is being investigated.

A year or two ago, to obtain an Instructors License, we had to teach a very “difficult” traffic officer how to drive, why was this done away with?
Standard of Instructing now with “newies” all codes is shocking. EC test for drivers, the vehicle is empty, he/she passes, loads 55t and is 99.9% clueless what to do or not to do on hills!
