The driver who injured 28 New Orleans paradegoers by plowing into a crowd Saturday night appeared drunk, according to local reports.
Five people have reportedly been taken to a trauma center and are in “guarded” condition, officials say.
EMS Director Jeffrey Elder told the New Orleans Advocate that none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. Several people were reportedly pinned beneath a dump truck the vehicle struck.
Police originally reported about a dozen people injured at the scene, after a gray truck driven by a young man struck people watching the Krewe of Endymion parade in the Mid-City section of the popular Mardi Gras city.
