A 40-year-old man from Mendoza was killed this weekend at the Rosendo Hernandez motor-racing circuit in San Luis, nothern Argentina. The man was struck by an errant tire after a race car lost control, dislodging the tire from the vehicle. The tire traveled around 200 meters, through a barricade, before it struck the fan and three others. The three other spectators were immediately rushed to the hospital, one with serious injuries.
The race was suspended for 90 minutes, and then resumed under protest of some spectators. Police had to clear the track when protesting spectators used themselves to block the raceway and prevent the race from continuing.
