EIGHT people including a four-month-old baby have been injured after a rental car allegedly driven by a Brit tourist ploughed into a busy bar in Corralejo.
The horror crash occurred when the car careered off the road and smashed into the outside eatery on the holiday hotspot island of Fuerteventura.
Sources told local media that the vehicle was speeding through at around 50-60mph when it smashed into the terrace bar on Avenida Nuestra Señora del Carmen.
The crash took place around 11.30am on the packed street after the driver appeared to lose control of the vehicle.
Out of the eight injured, five of them sustained serious injuries.

Another youngster, aged 5, is said to have sustained moderate trauma, along with two men, aged 44 and 50, who were taken to the nearest hospital.
The cause of the crash is currently unknown and Spain's Civil Guard have opened an investigation into the incident.
Police sources suspect that the driver may have suffered a heart attack or other medical emergency behind the wheel.
The alternative hypothesis is that the driver got confused by the car's gears and lost control, Canarian Weekly reports,
He has also been rushed to hospital.
Pictures reveal that the white rental car, seemingly a Dacia Duster, was heavily damaged by the collision with its front bonnet mangled and windscreen smashed.
The local Mayor of the La Oliva municipality where the crash occurred said in an evening statement: "Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragic event.
