Categories: Spot News

The suspension would only last as long as the investigation if MDR is determined to be off-the-hook, he said. Saturday's accident in the Mojave near Lucerne Valley took the lives of eight spectators when a prerunner pickup launched off a rock pile and landed upside down in a crowd of spectators that was far too close to the track.
