3 dead in Colombia monster truck show crash
At least three people were killed and 38 injured at a Colombian monster truck show when a vehicle veered out of control during a stunt and ploughed into a group of spectators, local authorities said Monday.
A young girl was among the dead at Sunday's exhibition in the southwestern city of Popayan, which was packed with families, local media reported.
Images circulating on social media showed the truck performing a wheelie before swerving off the track and crashing into the barriers separating the public from the track.
"We are deeply pained by the accident...which has preliminarily left more than 38 people injured and 3 dead," Popayan mayor Juan Carlos Munoz wrote on X.
Local media said several children were among the injured.
Francisco Arboleda, head of the Popayan fire department, said some of the spectators rushed to hospital were in serious condition.
Andres Hurtado, a paramedic who was standing close to the scene when the crash occurred, said he treated three people who were badly injured, including a girl.
Munoz ordered an investigation into the disaster, which he said "should never have happened."
