California 200 Race Accident at Lucerne Valley California

The California 200 off-road race accident left 8 people dead and 12 seriously injured as one of the competing trucks crashed into a crowd of spectators yesterday near Lucerne Valley, in Los Angeles California. Most of the casualties were brought to Loma Linda University Medical Center or St. Mary’s Medical Center as cited by the Associated Press.

The 200-mile race, held on desolate Soggy Dry Lake on federal desert land just east of the San Bernardino Mountains, was sanctioned by Mojave Desert Racing and is part of a seven race circuit. Off roaders race around the 50-mile long loop four times and hit speeds topping 60 mph. Watch the California 200 race accident video via US Post Today.
