Two young boys were killed Saturday afternoon in Kerrville, Texas, after a vehicle taking part in a drag racing event lost control and struck spectators, police said.
The Kerrville Police Department said in a statement that the boys were 6 and 8 years old. Eight other people were injured, including two other children, the statement said. The youngest among those hurt is a 3-month-old girl.
The event, Airport Race Wars 2, was taking place at the Kerrville-Kerr County Airport, around 70 miles from San Antonio.
