Videos taken by spectators show the driver, Francisco Velazquez, leapt over several cars, then apparently lost control and hit the Extreme Aeroshow crowd in Chihuahua.

The show included performances by planes as well as trucks.

Velazquez has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter. The governor said a test detected alcohol in his breath, but did not say whether he violated any law, according to The Telegraph.

Of the injured, four are in critical condition and 12 are in intensive care.
