35 hit in gala car carnage.

A DRIVER who careered at 70mph into a street festival left 35 people injured - seven critically.

Two children under three were among the most serious victims and Tonya Bell, 30, was tested for alcohol and drugs after the devastation.

Two police officers on motor scooters had tried to block her vehicle before it sped into the Unifest church parade crowd.

But they were swept aside as Bell - who had a seven-year-old girl passenger - floored the accelerator.

Witnesses in Washington DC saw pushchairs flung into the air and a man lodged under a wheel well as the car smashed into dancers.

One witness said Bell was "sweating like a racehorse". Another added: "It was like 'If you're in my way, you'll get hit'."
