One person has been killed and eight others injured in a bizarre traffic accident in Argentina which was captured on amateur video.
Oscar Perona, 81, drove through the pedestrians in central Buenos Aires.
An elderly man who was pulled underneath the car, died shortly before being taken to hospital.
Mr Perona, was immediately arrested, but police released him the following day saying the incident was caused by a mechanical fault.
Mr Perona claimed the automatic gears of his car failed.
He also said it had been the first driving accident in his life.
There's a longer news video with commentary and an interview with Mr Perona at the link above.
