Monster Truck show goes horribly wrong in Mexico
 
http://sourcefed.com/monster-truck-r...killing-eight/

At least eight people, including four children, were killed when a monster truck lost control and veered directly into a crowd attending an air show at the El Rejon Dam outside the city of Chihuahua.

Additionally, 79 people were injured in the accident with 12 sent to intensive care and 4 remaining in critical condition. The video (<-Warning: Graphic!) of the event hit YouTube and local TV stations, showing a large red truck jumping two small cars before accelerating suddenly and running into the crowd.

The driver, Francisco Velazquez, was arrested for manslaughter, and is under investigation. Velazquez claims he hit his head on something inside the cabin and lost consciousness. However, investigators believe the driver may have been drunk since authorities detected alcohol on the man’s breath.

Chihuahua Governor Cesar Duarte Juarez said his administration, who were sponsors of the air show, are investigating whether Civil Protection authorities had correctly enforced safety regulations.

Witnesses claimed to have seen Velazquez hit his head, and his helmet fly off just before the truck hit the group of spectators.

Governor Juarez declared three days of mourning to honor victims.

The only people more "tired" than the driver were the spectators afterward.
