Dangerous Games

A grisly scene unfolded on a Southern Maryland highway over the weekend-very early Saturday morning.A crowd of about 50 spectators had gathered to watch an illegal street race on Route 210 in Prince Georges county and were in the road watching the 2 racing cars take off when a 3rd driver,in a Crown Vic,whose vision was obscured by auto exhaust,came along and sliced through the crowd,killing eight persons.Witnesses say that bodies were strewn all over the scene and one victim was ripped to pieces,and allegedly a tractor trailer follwing the 3rd car hit some of the victims as well.PG county police say its one of the worst accident scenes they can recall.It is very tragic and my heart goes out to everyone connected to it.
As of yet,no charges have been filed against the 3rd driver but police are looking for the two drivers who were racing one another.Witnesses also say the stretch of road is known for illegal street racing.
