this was in today's herald.

Spectators provide first aid to people wounded after a Koenigsegg sports car crashed at high speed into the spectators during a car show in Poznan, Poland.

Car hits crowd, injures 17, at car show in Poland

Authorities say a luxury sports car skidded into the crowd during a car show in Poland, injuring 17 people. The Provincial Governor's Office in Poznan, western Poland, said in a statement that four people are in serious condition but their injuries are not life-threatening. Two children are among the injured. The statement said the driver lost control on a straight stretch of road, broke through a barrier and hit the crowd. Prosecutors are investigating.

Polish agency PAP said the driver was Norwegian. The car was from Swedish specialty automaker Koenigsegg. The accident took place during the ninth Gran Turismo Polonia show, in which drivers show off their rare sports cars.

Rather than 'lost control', I would argue the driver never had control in the first place....

Dude with more money than sense, the organisers could have used slightly better "safety barriers" since it was a planned event where cars were going to be going fast
