The news is just reporting an accident involving a car rally in Spain
A Coruna rally: Spain crash leaves six dead - BBC News

"Six people, including a pregnant woman, have been killed after a car veered off the road during a car rally in north-western Spain.Police said that 16 people had been injured, some critically, after the accident at the A Coruna car rally.
Television footage showed the car crashing off the road into spectators in a cloud of dust. Police said that the car had been going too fast."

Admittedly the victims of this event may be "not innocent by-standers, but those who voluntarily came to watch", however there would appear to be a parallel here from another type o spectator sport. It remains to be seen if laws will be changed for motor-sport events as a result - "***** happens".

(and as has been posted several times before, civil airliners have crashed into towns killing many on the ground, without calls for a ban on civil air traffic)
