PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - TWO spectators were killed and three others injured, including an eight-year-old girl, after a car smashed into the crowd watching a rally here on Saturday, police said.

A Peugeot 307 WRC, driven by the Polish-British pairing of Leszek Kuzaj and Craig Parry, came off the course at 0800 (07H00 GMT) in Reporyje, in the south-west suburbs of the Czech capital.

In rainy conditions, the car skidded on a bend, bounced off an electricity pylon before hurtling into the watching crowd.

A 26-year-old Pole, believed to be a close friend of Kuzaj, died at the scene while the second spectator died later in the day. -- AFP
