8 killed, 6 hurt when car plows into street racing crowd along Maryland highway

Associated Press

ACCOKEEK, Md. — Police in Maryland say an eighth person has died after a car roared into a crowd that was watching a drag race on a highway.

Authorities say the driver accidentally drove into the crowd but he wasn't part of the race. The spectators had just watched two other cars speed off.

The accident happened about 20 miles from Washington on a divided highway in Accokeek (ack-oh-KEEK').

Seven people died at the scene. Police say the eighth died at a hospital. Six others were injured.
