Nine-months pregnant Ana Cayazzo and her partner Miguel Caridad, both in their 20s, died instantly when a driver lost control of his racing car at a rally in north-west Spain on Saturday. At least another five people are believed to have been killed, including another pregnant woman and child aged eight. Poignant pictures – posted by Miguel on his Facebook page before Saturday’s tragedy near La Coruña in Galicia – show him tenderly patting his girlfriend’s belly.
Tragedy struck just before 8pm when a Peugeot driven by Sergio Tabeayo Sande, who comes from Carral, lost control of his Peugeot 206 XS on a bend and smashed into a 20-strong crowd of spectators.
Four women, two men and an eight-year-old child were reportedly killed in the crash, with 16 people including several children injured, some seriously.
Another pregnant woman was reportedly among those who died.
According to local newspapers, Ms Cayazzo, pictured with her partner on his Facebook, was due to give birth on Monday
