HORROR AS PORSCHE 918 SPYDER CRASHES INTO CROWD LEAVING MULITPLE INJURED!





More than 20 spectators have been injured after a British millionaire tycoon crashed his £750,000 supercar into a crowd at a charity rally in Malta. Paul Bailey, from the East Midlands, was behind the wheel of his Porsche Spyder when it clipped the grass at high speed along an unused airport taxiway in the Hal Farrug district of the island. Witnesses described the 'chaos and screaming' as the car, which has a top speed of 210mph, skidded out of control, careening into the barriers and crowd. Five of the 26 people injured are believed to be in a critical condition, including a six-year-old girl and the 55-year-old driver. A further nine suffered fractures or cuts requiring hospital treatment, officials said. 

According to Malta Today, Mr Bailey, a father of four, was taking part in the annual Paqpaqli ghall-Istrina motorshow when the crash happened at about 2pm. An eyewitness told Times of Malta: 'The car was speeding down the taxiway when a back wheel went on the grass. 'The car spun out of control, went through the barriers where a large crowd was watching, and into the area of the static car exhibition. 'Many people were hit, there was chaos and screams.' 

The rest of the show, which was held under the auspices of Malta's president to raise money for the needy, was cancelled.
