Police said a body found in the car was one of the spectators and not a passenger as they had previously reported.

the cars racing did not crash it was someone driving threw not paying any attention. i dont know how you dont see that many people in the road.

According to police, two cars had lined up for a race on the smooth and relatively flat and straight stretch of highway. They spun their wheels, kicking up smoke, then sped off, Copeland said.

The crowd then moved into the road to watch the cars drive away. The combination of the smoke and the dark morning likely meant the driver of the approaching white sedan could not see the crowd. No charges were pending.

Yeah, It wasn't a street racing crash per se, spectators got nailed..I guess when you are driving on a road in total darkness I don't think you would expect a 100 people in the middle of it. It was just their time to die, all there is to it.

Thats horrible.
With that many people there I wonder if a video will show up soon of the wreck or if someone gave the cops a video of it.
I just dont see how the person in the white car did not see any of these people...interesting and it doesnt look like charges will be filed against the driver from what I have read.

Damn look at the damage to the car...Ridiculous. I cant find any info on the driver, I would like to know how old he/she is. They probably wont release it for some time.

I hate how negative events that aren't street racing are attributed to street racing. ******* media sensationalizes everything.

When I read the article earlier today, the headline was "7 People Die Street Racing". Then when you read the article, you find out the headline is a lie. What a joke. All forms of so-called news are turning into the National Enquirer.
