ACCOKEEK, Md. -- A car plowed into a crowd that apparently gathered to watch a drag race on a suburban road early Saturday, killing seven people and injuring at least four, police said.
The car went out of control on Route 210 around 3:40 a.m. and hit people standing on the roadside, Prince George's County Police Cpl. Clinton Copeland said. A tractor-trailer that came by shortly afterward may also have struck someone on the road as it tried to avoid the crash, he said.

Route 210 has two lanes in each direction and traffic lights about every 150 to 200 yards in Accokeek, about 20 miles south of Washington.

Funny, why are they talking about these kids behavior? Ban those evil cars and sue the makers.
i guess what happened is after the race cars passed, people ran into the road to see the finish of the race. i think the 3rd car did not have his lights on for some reason and was following the race. boom!
I took a look at the article again and I dunno if I missed it the first time but three victims are 30+. These were not yutes.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
EXCELLENT QUESTION.
And of course, apparently you read (and comprehended) the article. Because it’s assumed here everyone is a teen!
Thank you! I was wondering if anyone was going to address my question.
