Harrowing footage shows the vehicle bouncing over a line of scrap metal before veering right and hurtling into the crowd.

The incident happened at a monster truck exhibition yesterday (3 May) afternoon.
The driver, reportedly a woman, is believed to have lost control as the modified vehicle landed from a jump.
As it surged forward, it struck a light pole, sending sparks flying after an apparent short circuit.
Bystanders rushed to help the injured as emergency crews raced to the scene in Popayán, Colombia.
A minor was pronounced dead at the scene, while two others later died in hospital.
At least 38 more people were injured and taken to hospitals across Popayán, as reported by Need To Know.
Local media had not reported the identities of those involved at the time of the latest update.
Popayán’s mayor, Juan Carlos Muñoz Bravo, said in a statement: “We’re deeply saddened by the accident in the Boulevard Rose area, which has so far left more than 38 people injured and three dead.
“From the outset as mayor, I’ve made all available resources available to support the victims and their families.
“We’re working closely with hospitals, emergency services and the authorities to ensure people receive prompt, compassionate and dignified care at this difficult time.
“I’ve given clear instructions for a thorough investigation. This should never have happened, and the facts will be established with full responsibility and transparency.”
