“All I can confirm at this time is that there was an event there and a vehicle lost control on the strip, the Vernamfield strip, and it hit down spectators at the particular event,” Cardoza said.

“I can confirm that at least six persons sustained some injuries and they were taken to hospital and are currently being treated.”
