A festive racing event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, turned into a horror story this past Sunday when the driver of a yellow Ferrari 458 Italia crashed through the rail guard and plowed into spectators crowded along the course injuring three people.
“We were behind the guard rail and he (the driver of the Ferrari yellow) lost control in the curve,” Cida Alves, a spectator at the event told Brazil’s Gaz News. “Upon impact, a cyclist (who was in the audience) was thrown into the air and the rails fell on him. He was wounded in head.”
One of the spectators received first-aid for minor injuries on the spot, while the other two were taken to the hospital and were released later in the same day.
The unnamed driver of the Ferrari was arrested and taken into custody.
