The crazed motorist who killed five people and left eight others fighting for their lives after driving at speed into crowds cheering the Dutch royal family has died.

Karst Tates, 38, who had just lost his job and was about to be evicted from his home, sustained head injuries in the incident. Charged with attacking the royal family, manslaughter or murder, he would have faced up to life imprisonment if he had lived to be convicted.

Tates told one of the first police officers to rush to his car that the attack was aimed at the royal family, prosecutor Ludo Goossens said yesterday - though police still do not know why.

After ploughing through spectators he was either unable to see through his shattered windscreen or could not steer properly and drove the wrong side of a traffic island before crashing into a stone monument.

The open-top bus passed a few yards away as the royals looked on in horror.

The black Suzuki Swift left a trail of devastation, with bodies lying in the road and frantic rescuers trying to give first aid.

The victims included photographers who had been intent on picturing the royal bus when the car smashed into them.

It had already crashed through a security fence, then carved a passage through the crowd.

'I think that it has become clear that this happened with premeditation,' Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said.

Neither he nor police would give a motive. But Dutch media, citing neighbours, said the assailant was recently fired from his security guard job and was to be evicted from his home.

After the crash police found Tates slumped against his seat with blood running down his face. He was taken to hospital where he was under heavy guard last night.

'The man said that his action was aimed at the royal family,' said prosecutor Ludo Goossens. Officials in Apeldoorn said the suspect had a map of the queen's route.

Apeldoorn Mayor Fred de Graaf said eight of the injured were in serious condition, including a nine-year-old girl and two teenagers. Three men and two women were killed.

It was the Queen’s Day national holiday in the Netherlands and 71-year-old Queen Beatrix and her family were on their way to a palace in Apeldoorn.

Dutch TV showed the queen’s heir, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, and his wife Princess Maxima watching in disbelief from the bus. Maxima held her hand over her mouth in horror.

Journalist Peter von de Vorst said: ‘It was a really nice day. Then you hear a bang. Everyone looks up and you see people flying through the air.

‘You think this must be a joke or a strange prank. Then suddenly panic, and you realise something really terrible has happened.’

Photographer Cynthia Boll said: ‘You could see it was serious because everywhere was blood and shoes ripped off and people giving CPR.’

As well as the dead and seriously hurt, five people had minor injuries.

Investigators used a sniffer dog to check the car for explosives before ruling out a terrorist connection.

As planned celebrations were called off across the country, a visibly upset Queen Beatrix made a rare appearance on national TV.

She said: ‘What began as a great day has ended in a terrible tragedy that has shocked us all deeply. We are speechless that something so terrible could have happened.’

Paula Abdul TEKINN af Bruno !!

Paula Abdul has admitted that she was fooled by Sacha Baron Cohen’s comic alter ego Bruno and will likely be featured when the film — Bruno — arrives in theaters this July.

In an interview with The Johnjay and Rich Morning Show, the American Idol judge was told she had won an award for Artist of the Year in Germany and ended up taking part in a bizarre sit down interview with Sacha’s campy Austrian designer.

“I’m greeted by this futuristic dude with a mohawk - and he’s flaming,” recalled Paula.

“I’m like, ‘This is weird. Is this a variety show or something? I walk in and there was no furniture except a chair. And this guy Bruno introduces himself. He snaps his fingers and says, ‘Gardeners!’,” she recalled.

“And these two Mexican guys come in, and they drop down to all fours. I see him paying them like 10 bucks, and he says, ‘Sit down.’ And I said, ‘I’m not doing that!’”

“As I’m going to my car, they’re chasing me with cameras,” she added.

Paula only realized the fiasco when she was contacted by a reporter three weeks ago.

“I said, ‘I’ve never done anything with Sacha Cohen, they’re wrong!’,” she recalled. “At 2 o’clock in the morning, I woke up in a cold sweat and I went, ‘Oh my God!’ And I’m dying. Because you don’t expect it.”
