A vehicle plowed straight through a guard rail and into the audience at a mud racing event in Texas on Sunday night, injuring eight people.

According to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Department, at 6:35 p.m., a vehicle exited the dirt track and smashed through a guard barrier and onto spectators.

Three spectators were taken to the hospital in serious condition, while five more were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police did not identify any of the injured.

“Today what happened was what we all hoped doesn’t happen. Is a wreck while racing,” said Scott Smith, owner of Rock Solid Protection, an El Paso-based security firm. Smith, speaking at a news conference, said that “the mud can tell the car where to go, at times” and that is what he said happened in this crash.

The track lies near Fabens, Texas, approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) southeast of El Paso.
