At least 13 people have been injured after a car ploughed through a crowd of football fans on Thursday night.

In footage shared on X, a white Peugeot 208 can be seen accelerating through dozens of people outside the RCDE Stadium in Cornella, Catalonia.

The terrifying incident occurred just minutes after the start of a La Liga match between RCD Espanyol and FC Barcelona.

According to SER, the car was being driven by a woman who began to accelerate and reverse into the crowd after fans began rocking and shaking her vehicle.
