HECTIC – Car Crash Comes Within Metres Of Wiping Out Comrades Spectators [Video]

Some last-second reactions from a number of Comrades spectators saves their lives, as a car smashed into the railings during South Africa's ultimate marathon.

While being a spectator at something like a rally or bull-fighting event may be dangerous, you’d never think your life would be in danger while watching the Comrades.

The ultramarathon was gate-crashed, literally, when an out-of-control car ploughed into the railings behind the spectators. None of the viewers or runners were injured, and no serious injuries were reported from the car crash.
