Two people died and two were seriously injured as a result of an accident during the La Baja 1000 preliminary inspection race in Ensenada, Baja California.
The accident occurred yesterday morning, Thursday, November 14, on Rotario Boulevard and Dunas, in the tourist area of Ensenada, a space where preparations are made for the iconic “La Baja 1000 Off-Road Race,” which welcomes hundreds of participants from different parts of the world to tour the wild areas of the region.
The accident was witnessed by families and runners who were watching the inspection of the participating vehicles and was recorded in various videos that were spread on social networks.
In the images, it can be seen that one of the participants aboard an orange “trophy” type vehicle, for unknown reasons, lost control and ran over four people of foreign origin and hit three “racer” type vehicles.
The affected people were immediately transferred to a nearby hospital for medical attention. However, hours later two of them died as a result of their injuries.
The victims were identified as Fred Goff James and Esteban Velázquez, while a third person is at risk of having a hand amputated.
The driver allegedly responsible was arrested by the authorities.
In addition, it was reported that the Score International team would be sanctioned by state and municipal authorities.
