One person has died and one other was hospitalized after the driver of a truck ran into the crowd at a pride parade in Wilton Manors, Florida, on Saturday, according to the Broward County Sheriff's office. Local police said that due to the "tragic event," the parade intended to commemorate the Stonewall Riots was canceled, but said that "there is no danger to the public."
The driver of the truck told police that their foot got stuck between the gas pedal and the brake, causing them to lose control of the vehicle, CBS Miami reported. The driver is in police custody, according to Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, who said that she was at the parade. "Our hearts are breaking and we continue to pray no more innocent lives are lost," Fried tweeted.More Related News
