Cars for Kids is a good charity that raises money for children in need but they made a terrible mistake by having a car race down a highway with no guard rails performing a stunt. Six people died and 20 more were injured in the small town of Selmer as they gathered to watch a driver do a “burnout” – spinning the tires until they smoke – in a drag car.
The car was driven by pro drag racer Troy Warren but he lost control and the car flew into the crowd. Here’s amateur video of the accident from WMC-TV in Memphis.
