Horror footage shows crash

Horror footage shows the moment a blue sedan sped into a crowd of pedestrians walking casually through a tourist corridor. Screams can be heard as people scatter. The vehicle is stopped when it slams into what appears to be a concrete pillar.

The incident occurred during the Gran Feria de la Manzana (Great Apple Fair). The car burst in from the Hotel Zacatlán area until crashing to one side of the Apple Pavilion, according to reports.
