‘The car was speeding down the taxiway when a back wheel went on the grass.

'The car spun out of control, went through the barriers where a large crowd was watching, and into the area of the static car exhibition,’ one witness told Times of Malta.

‘Many people were hit, there was chaos and screams.'

Car enthusiast Paul was driving a Porsche Spyder, worth £750,000, at the time of the crash - a supercar that can reach unto 210mph.

The father of four was taking part in the annual Paqpaqli ghalistrina motorshow on Sunday when the crash occurred.
