Description: (8) Spectators killed during illegal street race. (3) Medivacs were requested. WJZ.Com- "The victims were tossed through the air after police say a Crown Victoria, not involved in the race, came down the highway after two other racing cars took off. At the same time, a crowd of about 50 people stepped into the road to see the race. They were hidden in the dark of night and a cloud of burning rubber and exhaust. Making matters worse, an 18-wheeler also came through the body littered highway moment later as the two street racers took off."
