    A race car went out of control on a rural Irish road and crashed into a crowd of about 30 spectators Sunday, killing two people and seriously injuring seven, authorities said.

    Witnesses said the car crashed through a fence and into the onlookers before coming to rest on its side beside a home near Bailieborough, 50 miles northwest of Dublin.

    Police said two people -- a 29-year-old woman from Cork, southwest Ireland, and a 50-year-old male photographer from the western city of Galway -- were declared dead at the scene. Seven others, including the car's driver and navigational co-driver, were hospitalized because of unspecified injuries.
