8 Die At California Off-Road Race

A speeding truck plowed into a group of spectators at an off-road race in California, killing eight people and hurting 12 others.

Fans watched in horror Saturday night as the truck hit a jump and rolled into the crowd. People were standing within 10 feet of the dirt track with no guardrails.

"The only way it could have been prevented is if people knew the risks better and stayed farther away, because people were right up close to them, coming 75 miles an hour," one spectator said.

Another said, "They allow us to stand wherever we want on the tracks. So we, everyone gets as close as they can."

It's not clear why the driver lost control of the truck. The accident remains under investigation.
