Fourteen Onlookers Mowed Down By “Supercar” In Poland’s Gran Turismo

The most amazing thing about this video is that no one died.  A report of nineteen injured but no deaths.  This video however does raise a question of negligence by the organizers and not just the driver of a Koenigsegg CCX supercar at a car rally in Poland. [Warning: graphic images]

Two children are among the injured at the Gran Turismo Polonia motor rally in Poznan.

The driver clearly lost control but there remains the question of the safety of having onlookers so close to the road without any barriers. This is an event where drivers show off their rare sports cars. The driver in this case was Norwegian. That also means that a high percentage of the drivers may have little racing experience and the chances for such accidents is much higher.

If there is a lawsuit, there is a deep pocket somewhere since that street legal cars cost $4,850,000 each.

On the other hand, should this be just a case of assumption of the risk for onlookers?
