Video footage captured the moment a drag racer lost control of his Mustang during a racing event and crashed into the crowd, killing two young boys aged six and eight.
The crash took place towards the end of the air strip 'track,' on a section with no safety barriers, at the Kerrville-Kerr County Airport on Saturday afternoon, with the two children killed yet to be identified.
Eight other spectators and the driver were also injured as a result of the crash.
The video posted on Facebook saw two of the racing vehicles side by side revving their engines before the start of the race.
The Mustang, on the right, was then seen speeding down the track with a cloud of dust trailing behind.
It was not long before the Mustang was then seen careening around the back of the other vehicle and swiftly heading towards the crowd.
The vehicle then crashed into parked cars and hit spectators who were watching the event, according to a report from the Kerrville Police Department.
Police said a 6-year-old boy died at the scene while an 8-year-old boy died in the hospital.
Among the eight injured were two women, 46 and 27, who were listed in critical condition. A man, 26, was also taken to the hospital, but his condition is not known.
The unidentified driver, 34, was described by police as 'stable,' NBC News reports.
