Monster truck crashes into crowd in Popayan, Colombia, killing two
May 3 (Reuters) - At least two people were killed and a further 37 were injured on Sunday after a monster truck plowed into crowds at an exhibition event in the southern Colombian city of Popayan, in the province of Cauca, the regional governor said.
Videos on social media showed a large monster truck clearing an obstacle but failing to brake in time, causing the vehicle to veer off to the side and plow into spectators.
Reuters was unable to independently verify the footage. A Popayan city official said one of the victims was a 10-year-old girl, according to Colombian newspaper El Espectador.
