Dramatic video shows race car plowing into spectators at Georgia raceway
Chaos erupted at a Georgia dirt track when one of the racing cars topped a security wall in turn four and plowed into spectators at the pit exit, video shows.
It happened Saturday, July 5, at Senoia Raceway, and three people were hurt, the track reported in a Facebook post.
Video of the “scary incident” shared by Recoil Racing Videos shows the fans were standing along a chain-link fence when the car left the track, topped the wall and hit a reenforced pole. It then began spinning and landed back on the track as other cars whizzed past it.
Details of the injuries suffered by the fans were not released. Another video shows two fans fell over a wall and landed on concrete at the pit entrance. (The linked video contained strong language and images.)
“We have been informed that two of the three individuals involved in last night’s incident were transported to the hospital for evaluation,” the track reported in a Facebook post.
“We’re relieved to share that both have since been treated and released. The third individual did not require hospital transport and was cared for on-site.”
Identities of the injured people were not released, and the track did not identify the driver involved.
The crash caused a delay in the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series, which included drivers from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Michigan and South Carolina.
Senoia is about a 40-mile drive southwest from Atlanta.
