Car crashes into crowd of fans in Spain

A car has ploughed into a huge crowd of football fans ahead of the derby clash between Barcelona and Espanyol.

Shocking footage shows the moment a driver mows into supporters who had gathered near the RCDE Stadium, located on the outskirts of Barcelona, before the match.

Reports in Spain claim a total of 13 people have sustained injuries in the terrifying incident, which is being investigated.

Local media has reported the Catalan police believe it was not a deliberate attack and are instead working on the theory that the driver, reportedly a female, lost control. She has been arrested, according to Marca.
