The Lexus completely overturned and landed on its wheels before mowing down people waiting on the pavement at a pedestrian crossing, cops said.

Heiress Alyona Zaitseva's armed bodyguards reportedly drove up in two jeeps immediately after the crash and protected her from a furious crowd who witnessed the appalling crash.

The dead included a 15-year-old schoolgirl.

One onlooker who was trying to help the injured said: "It's like a war zone."

Police said she was found not to have been drinking before the crash.

If convicted of causing the crash, she faces up to ten years in jail.

Local bloggers expressed fears that because of her powerful father she will be exonerated despite witnesses saying she sped through the red light.
