Authorities revised the death toll Sunday afternoon, after initially reporting seven people had died.

Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman Mike Browning said the dead included two 15-year-old girls and a 17-year-old girl. The accident injured 18 others, including a 5-year-old boy, who were taken to hospitals in Tennessee and Mississippi.

Authorities on Sunday identified the driver as pro drag racer Troy Warren Critchley, an Australian who is now based in Wylie, Texas. He suffered minor injuries and was taken by car to a hospital for treatment, authorities said.

No barricades, what were they thinking ?

What was suppose to be a fund raiser for disadvantaged kids, turns in to fatality due to no barricades IMO. Driver error yes, but if barricades were in place he wouldn't have killed them.

Organizes should be blamed for not being 'organized' I reckon.
