Several spectators were hit after a competitor lost his brakes (to be confirmed). A woman died of her injuries and an 11 year old boy is in critical condition. Video is not of the incident itself. I have not found, nor looked for that.

Shit. That's bad. The Amsterdam rally's the only rally in the world (as far as I know) that takes place entirely within a city, and a sizable city at that. This could end it.

I certainly hope it doesn't end it but as has historically been a problem in rally events before, spectator control will definitely be scrutinized. I'm going to look tomorrow for [a confirmation of] the cause for the accident and try to understand the circumstances better, and perhaps a video as well, if it exists.
