Default Koenigsegg crashed into the crowds

in Poland. How sad, not enough protection between car and crowd and looks like driver was a little too aggressive

Yeah I saw a recent article that said something like 4 were critically injured and like 9+ had some kind of injury.

Yeah here it is -

"A crash at the Gran Turismo Polonia involving a Koenigsegg CCX injured 19 people, four of them seriously, who were watching the start of the rally race."

man, ud think you would be safe watching someone accelerating down a straight road...

this reminds me of rally crashes taking out spectators too

heres colin mcrae hitting a spectator (not mcrae's fault)

mowing 19 people down is another thing though
hope those people recover
apparently all ahve been discharged from the hospital except the 4 that are critically injured
they are in stable conditions for now
