On Good Friday, german "Karfreitag", many streetracers and tuners had announced "Carfreitag", with several illegal streetraces throughout germany ... in Bielefeld, one car ran into a group of 70 spectators, injuring 10 people. One woman died in the hospital later on ...

Read the german report here ...

Report says he tried to slow down as a car was in front of him, then skidded into the people watching from the side of the road ... I asume it was NOT the car he was racing that got in the way ...

I've never seen that happen at a sanctioned race track event.

I've stopped being the moral apostle a long time ago, so I am not going to condemn anyone.
However, what we can learn from the incident is how quick a bit of "FUN" can turn into "HORROR" with serious consequences.
In short: how to throw your life away in one stupid moment.
