Three people have been killed and several are seriously injured after cars collided with spectators in two incidents at the Jim Clark Rally in the Scottish Borders, police have said.
The most serious incident took place at about 16:00 BST on Saturday when a car taking part in the motor racing event came off the road near Coldstream.
Two men and a woman died. Another man is in hospital in a critical condition.
A collision two hours earlier left five people injured, one of them seriously.
Organisers of the event – the only closed road rally on mainland UK – said they were “devastated” and were working with police to “establish the facts”.
Police Scotland said the rally was cancelled with immediate effect after the second incident, and that investigations into both collisions were “ongoing”.
One eyewitness of the second incident, Tony Cowan, told the BBC how the car “lost control”.
