FIVE PEOPLE HAVE been critically injured after a supercar sped off the track and crashed into the crowd at a motorshow event in Malta yesterday.
21 other people were also injured, the Times of Malta reports.
Amongst the injured are a six-year-old girl and her mother.
Video footage showed the Porsche spinning out of control at speed on the track.
“The car was speeding down the taxiway when a back wheel went on the grass,” one eye-witness told the Times of Malta.
“The car spun out of control, went through the barriers where a large crowd was watching, and into the area of the static car exhibition,” the eye-witness said.
A fleet of ambulances and a medical helicopter were sent to the scene.
19 people were taken to hospital, while the rest were treated at a local health centre.
Organisers have said the cause of the crash will be investigated.
