Update: Three more people have died, raising the death toll to seven, after dragster hits crowd at Selmer car show
Three more people have died, raising the death toll to seven, after a drag-racing car lost control and careened into a crowd of spectators state officials said Sunday.
A drag-racing vehicle lost control during a parade and spun into a crowd of bystanders Saturday night, killing seven adults and injuring up to 15 people, authorities said.
Investigators were trying to determine what caused the vehicle to careen into the crowd at the Cars for Kids charity event in Selmer, located about 80 miles east of Memphis.
Witness Scott Henley said the vehicle started burning off its tires, then began to fishtail and slammed into a light pole before spinning around into the audience.:( :(
