Car veers off track and ploughs into the crowd at high speed in a Spanish rally race

The victims were struck by the race car when its driver - reported to be local man Sergio Tabeayo - lost control during the La Coruña Rally, in the Spanish municipality of Carral in the north west of the country. Footage of the crash (pictured, left) shows the moment the car skids across the dirt track before ploughing into a group of roughly 20 spectators (centre), sending them flying into the air. Two pregnant women and an eight-year-old child have both been confirmed to be among the six people killed. Sixteen people were injured, six seriously. The race was immediately suspended in the aftermath, with police warning that the death toll is likely to rise. Emergency services remain on the scene tonight (right), supporting the victims and their families.
