At least seven people, including an eight-year-old child, have been killed in an accident during a car race in Sri Lanka!

Police say 21 other people were injured when a race car veered off course and crashed into a group of spectators during a motor racing event on Sunday.

Police said one of the drivers drove into the crowd at an unprotected section of the military-run race track, about 180 kilometers east of Colombo.
