Seven spectators are dead after a rally car plunged Saturday into a crowd of 20 people, killing at least seven and injuring at least 12 more, media outlets are reporting.
The BBC reported that six people were initially dead after the crash in the province of Galicia, which is in northwest Spain. The Daily Mail reported that a young girl who was severely injured in the crash died from her injuries Saturday night.
The La Coruna rally was immediately cancelled after the deadly crash.
According to reports, the driver — identified by Spanish media as Sergio Taveayo — and his co-driver Luis Miguel Prado Santos were unhurt in the crash.
According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, two spectators remain in critical condition and five more have serious injuries. Ten spectators with minor injuries left the hospital Sunday.
Among the dead were two pregnant women and one girl, according to El Pais.
Authorities say the men may have been driving too fast when they lost control of their car and careened into the spectators. According to reports, authorities are investigating the crash.
Purported video of the crash was posted online after the crash.
(Warning: Although the video doesn’t contain graphic images, it does depict a fatal crash.)
