A 28-year-old woman watching the Dakar Rally was killed when a
vehicle taking part in the race veered off the course and hit her
during the opening stage on Saturday.
Norberto Brusa, a spokesman for Rio Cuarto Hospital, said the
woman died from injuries suffered in the crash. She was identified
as Natalia Sonia Gallardo.
Brusa said four other people were injured, but the extent of
the injuries were not immediately available.
The 4x4 was driven by Mirco Schultis and partner Ulrich
Leardi.
The opening stage was between Colon and Cordoba, northwest of
the Argentina capital Buenos Aires.
