SELMER, Tenn. - A tearful mother of two teenage girls killed when a speeding dragster skidded into a crowd demanded answers on Monday, saying the high-powered car should never have been on a city street.

“Somebody’s got to take responsibility for this. I’ve got to bury my two girls,” Darla Griswell said. “They were there just to have fun.”

Her daughters, Nicole, 19, and Raven, 15, were among six young people killed by the car when it fishtailed into the crowd Saturday at the Cars for Kids show in Selmer, a small town about 80 miles east of Memphis.

At least 23 other spectators were hurt, many seriously.

Authorities said Monday it would take time to figure out exactly why the car lost control. The district attorney said he has not yet decided whether to bring criminal charges, although that was still a possibility.

Four high-powered dragsters, including one driven by pro drag racer Troy Critchley, were scheduled for the show’s popular “burnout exhibition” in which drivers spin their tires to make them heat up and smoke. Hundreds of spectators, unprotected by guard rails, lined both sides of a three-lane highway to watch the show.

Critchley was first off the line, but he lost control and crashed into spectators standing several rows deep in front of a fast-food restaurant.

Amateur video of the crash, broadcast on WMC-TV in Memphis, showed the car’s engine revving loudly before the vehicle sped down the highway. After a few hundred feet, the smoking car skidded off the road and into the crowd.
