Haaksbergen – A "monster" truck, outfitted with tractor-sized wheels, has crashed into a crowd during a show in the Netherlands, reportedly killing two people and injuring at least a dozen.

Video footage of the incident shows the truck veering off course after driving over the top of a row of cars, then knocking down a guardrail and driving into a group of onlookers.

Dutch national broadcaster NOS is citing the mayor of the eastern city of Haaksbergen, Hans Gerritsen, that two children were killed in the incident and 15 people injured.

I hope to get more detailed video's soon.

In the US the trucks have remote shut down to avoid something like this. Some of them have 1500 plus hp. Nothing to play around with.

update: Just watched the news and they said it was the driver making a mistake not mechanical fault..
