8 Killed As Car Hits Md. Drag-Race Crowd
By STEPHEN MANNING (Associated Press Writer)
From Associated Press
February 16, 2008 3:10 PM EST
ACCOKEEK, Md. - A car plowed into a crowd that had gathered to watch a drag race on a suburban road early Saturday, killing eight people and injuring at least five, police said.

Police said the white sedan was not involved in the street race but accidentally drove into the crowd of about 50 people that had spilled onto the highway to watch two racing cars speed off.

"There were just bodies everywhere; it was horrible," said Crystal Gaines, 27, whose father was among the dead.

Gaines said she grabbed her child but could not help her father, William Gaines Sr., 61.

"He wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving," she said. "His body was in pieces."

Gaines said the car did not have its lights on, but police could not confirm that.

The white sedan hit people standing on the side of Route 210 around 3:40 a.m., Prince George's County Police Cpl. Clinton Copeland said. A tractor-trailer that came by shortly afterward may also have struck someone on the road as it tried to avoid the crash, he said.

"It's probably one of the worst scenes I've seen," Copeland said. "This is a situation that could have been avoided, and it's a very tragic situation."

The victims ranged in age from their 20s to 60s, police said. Seven people were pronounced dead at the scene, and an eighth died later at a hospital.

Hours after the accident on the divided highway in Accokeek, bodies covered in white sheets were scattered along what police were calling a 200-yard crime scene. Some were in the road, while others were on the shoulder.

The sedan came to a rest on an embankment about 150 feet from where the crowd had been. It had a crumpled front and hood, and the roof had partially collapsed.

The driver of the white sedan had been interviewed and did not appear to be seriously hurt, Police Capt. Donald Frick said. Police said a body found in the car was one of the spectators and not a passenger as they had previously reported.

According to police, two cars had lined up for a race on the smooth and relatively flat and straight stretch of highway. They spun their wheels, kicking up smoke, then sped off, Copeland said.

The crowd then moved into the road to watch the cars drive away. The combination of the smoke and the dark morning likely meant the driver of the approaching white sedan could not see the crowd. No charges were pending.

Authorities were looking for the drivers of the two cars involved in the race.

Authorities were working to identify the victims by showing digital photos of them to bystanders who said loved ones had been hurt. John Courtney said after viewing one of the images that his brother, Mark, 33, was among the dead.

"He liked going to the race track, watching races," Courtney said. "It's going to take a toll on my family for a long time."

Investigators had "more questions than answers," Copeland said.

Route 210 has two lanes in each direction and traffic lights about every 150 to 200 yards in Accokeek, about 20 miles south of Washington. In that area, the road is flanked by some businesses but has little traffic in the early hours, Copeland said.

Frick said it's common in the summer for police to deal with reports of motorcycles racing on the highway, which is relatively smooth with long straightaways, but he said they have not had as much of an issue with cars.

more and even stronger measures and penalties should be enforced by the traffic direcorate, screw 50and 100bd fines and bail, they wont learn unless they pay "BIG FINE" and do "BIG TIME" behind bars

every now and then we "hear" some srict new laws have come up against offenders, youd expect the public to have turned less aggressive in road manners, but it just gets worse

A suburban road is not a highway.

And its the fault of the man who hit them for not turning his headlights on. If he had them on, he would have not crashed into a crowd of people he could not see!

Can you quote any sentence from the article you posted, which provides information about the make or model of the car?

Because I can't seem to find any information about the make or model of the car in the article.

Sarz, you are talking out of your a$$!

5alood, I am arguing by using evidence of your own actions on the road, and arguing with Sarz with his own material.

Twisting the truth of your own facts is contradicting yourself!

That is not the point! You could have lost control, gone up the sidewalk and if someone was on the sidewalk, you might have killed them. You were driving irresponsibly on public roads, whether you like it or not.

The absence of traffic or pedestrians does not justify the way you were driving your car in that video. And the people who were killed, were not killed by the cars that were racing, but by a careless driver who did not turn his lights on. Human error is the reason.

People with much more driving talent than you lose control, and you won't? You are not invincible 5alood, you are human, and you are not perfect, just as no one is.

And you never know who could have been on the sidewalk. The garbage man, some people like to jog late at night, a Indian fellow going home on his bicycle from work.

[ファルーク]

i didnt read all the posts here but according to ABC news, the crown went thru a wall of smoke ( from tire burnouts ) after the cars passed around 200m thru the race crashing into the spectators.

Spectators fault for standing in the road.
