1 person is dead after a truck hit pedestrians at a Florida Pride parade

Two pedestrians at a Pride parade near Miami on Saturday were hit by a truck, leaving one dead and the other injured, according to police.

"Both males were taken to Broward Health Medical Center, where one was pronounced deceased," said Fort Lauderdale Police Department detective Ali Adamson at a Saturday night press conference. The second victim is expected to survive.
Adamson said the FBI is assisting with the investigation but declined to say whether investigators believed the incident was intentional.

"To my knowledge it was an accident. This was not an attack on the LGBTQ community," Knight said in the statement. "We anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community's love and support."

Someone's dead after an apparent accident. Tragic. Prayers for the individual and their family.

(Hoping no one is intending to take this any further than that.)

Appears to be accidental. I understand the driver was also there as part of the pride event.

(Well, s/he shouldn't be proud of his/her driving...)
