Buenos Aires: A woman watching the
Dakar Rally was killed when a vehicle taking part in the race
veered off the course and hit her during the opening stage.
The 4x4 was driven by Mirco Schultis and partner Ulrich
Leardi.
Norberto Brusa, a spokesman for Rio Cuarto Hospital, said
yesterday Natalia Sonia Gallardo, aged 28, died from injuries
suffered in the crash. Brusa said four other people were
injured, but the extent of the injuries were not immediately
available.
The opening stage was between Colon and Cordoba,
northwest of the Argentina capital Buenos Aires.
A witness to the accident told the television station TN
that fans were standing outside a secure area reserved for
spectators.
"There was no place and the police did not stop people,"
said the witness, identified as Gaston Harriague. "The fields
around there are all private. They are not permitted places."
