VIDEO: Porsche 918 Spyder Driven By British Millionaire Crashes Into Crowd, 26 Injured

The scene turned horrific after an ultra-rare Porsche 918 Spyder clipped the grass along a prepared empty runway at high speed and veered off into a crowd of spectators at the Hal Farrug airport in Malta, leaving dozens injured – five critically.

Paul Bailey was at the wheel of the vehicle when the incident occurred during a fundraising demonstration drive in conjunction with the Paqpaqli ghall-Istrina motor show. Among those in critical condition include the driver and a six-year old girl.

Clear footage of what happened at the Maltese airport are a little scarce right now, but here's a video we found showing the Porsche just as it lost control. Viewer discretion is advised.

Bailey, a millionaire tycoon from East Midlands in England, is also said to be an experienced racecar driver.

Local newspaper Malta Today reports that a total injury toll was 26, with 19 taken to Mater Dei Hospital for treatment while the remaining seven sent to Paola Health Centre.

President of the Republic Marie Louise Coleiro-Preca, was at the scene shortly after the incident where she spoke to the victims, their relatives, and witnesses. She said to Malta Today:

"I have no words to describe my sorrow at what happened... all we can do is be there for the people affected by this incident,"

“The matter now is under a magisterial inquiry. It would be unethical to comment on it.”
