A car ploughs through spectators in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, Thursday, April 30, 2009. The speeding car raced toward an open bus carrying Queen Beatrix and her family, during celebrations for the national Queen's Day holiday, careening through spectators. Dutch television says two people were killed and about a dozen injured. The small black car appeared to be deliberately heading at high speed toward the royal bus and passed within a few meters before it plowed into a stone monument. About 20 people were seen flying through the air after the car swerved across police railings, where crowds of people lined five or six deep to see the royal family pass on its way to a palace on Thursday. The TV put the number of casualties at 14. AP Photo logo AP Photo 9 months ago
