ACCOKEEK, Md. (AP) — A 20-year-old man who drove his car into a crowd gathered to watch an illegal street race, killing eight people, was driving with a suspended license, a law enforcement official said Wednesday.

Darren Bullock, 20, had his license suspended in late January, according to the law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation of last Saturday's crash was ongoing.

Bullock's license remained suspended at the time of the early morning accident, said the official. It remains unclear why it was suspended. Bullock has not been charged in the crash.

Bullock was cited in May for driving on a suspended license after he was pulled over near his home. He is scheduled to go on trial next month for that infraction and a citation for driving with an unrestrained child in the car.
