Multiple injuries reported after vehicle plows through Wisconsin parade
A mother recounts the scene of a car driving through a holiday parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin on ‘Sunday Night in America.’
A parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin was interrupted after a car could be seen in a live stream zooming by a parade and reportedly crashed into bystanders.
On Sunday afternoon, a car could be seen speeding into a crowd watching a parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
A Christmas parade was scheduled in Waukesha for Sunday afternoon and the event was live streamed for a period of time. In the stream, a red SUV can be seen speeding by the parade and the audience can be heard gasping and looking toward that direction.
A police officer can then be seen running that direction before the stream ends.
Fox News 6 Milwaukee reporter Sam Kraemer interviewed a man on the scene who said "most of his family are in the hospital."
Waukesha Police did not immediately provide comments to Fox News Digital.
It is unclear how many people were injured.
Angelito Tenorio, a West Allis alderman who is running for Wisconsin state treasurer, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he was watching the parade with his family when they saw the SUV come speeding into the area.
"Then we heard a loud bang, and just deafening cries and screams from people who are who are struck by the vehicle," Tenorio said. "And then, and then we saw people running away or stopping crying, and there, there are people on the ground who looked like they’d been hit by the vehicle."
"Please avoid the downtown area for the time being," the Waukesha Police Department posted on Facebook, adding that a family reunification location was set up at Metro Transit Center by Bank St.
