8 dead & 12 injured from what I've heard.
Who was there?
I wonder how this will affect our sport?
Who was it that crashed?
I heard he had to run away because people were throwing rocks at him.....?

[bajabum]

what a tragedy, i've never seen so many police and emergency vehicles. there's a thread on rdc covering the story. it was a 1450 truck that crashed. my prayers with all those involved.

At the moment most people are trying to keep the drivers name from appearing as much as possible. I've heard that the rock throwing was just media BS.

So glad to hear it wasn't you BajaBum.. :)
But saddened by the whole story.
