Men Charged In 8 Drag Racing Deaths In Md.

Two men have been indicted in the deaths of eight people who had gathered to watch an illegal street race in suburban Maryland.

Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey says 20-year-old Darren Bullock and 18-year-old Tavon Taylor were charged Tuesday with eight counts of vehicular manslaughter. They were also charged with reckless driving and street racing in the February crash.

Authorities say Bullock plowed into a group of street racing fans along an isolated stretch of road while he and Taylor were racing in the early morning darkness.

The fans had spilled into the road to watch two other cars race off when they were hit from behind. Prosecutors say Bullock and Taylor weren't part of the organized event the fans were watching.
