Monster truck crash reportedly kills three spectators including one child after crashing into spectators
Three people are believed to have been killed and 15 more injured after a monster truck crashed into a crowd of spectators.
Video footage appears to show the truck break through the safety fence just as it was wheeling round and revving its engine in preparation to drive over multiple parked cars.
It took place at a rally in Haaksbergen, a town in the eastern Netherlands.
Haaksbergen’s mayor, Hans Gerritsen, told local media that one of the fatalities was a child, according to Sky News.
Geerlof Kanis, one of the rally’s organisers, told RTV Oost that the safety fences were placed sufficiently far away from the vehicles to keep the crowd safe.
One theory currently being put forward was that the truck’s accelerator pedal got stuck.
