A pickup truck driver slammed into spectators at a Florida Pride parade on
Saturday evening – narrowly missing U.S. Rep. Deborah Wasserman Schultz
and leaving at least one person dead, according to reports.
At least one other person was seriously injured, reports said.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis quickly denounced the crash at the
Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade a "terrorist" attack on the LGBTQ
community but police have said they haven't determined if the crash was
intentional, the Sun-Sentinel of South Florida reported.
Trantalis said the truck missed the congresswoman, who was riding in a
convertible in the parade, "by inches" before it crashed into a plant
nursery, WPLG-TV in Fort Lauderdale reported.
Investigators were speaking with the driver, who was in custody but
authorities wouldn't say if he had been arrested, Fort Lauderdale Police
Det. Ali Adamson told reporters.

Witnesses said the driver told police the crash was an accident, according
to WPLG-TV in Fort Lauderdale. He was reportedly wearing a gay men's choir
T-shirt. He told investigators that he lost control of the truck after his
foot became stuck between the gas and brake, according to WFOR-TV in
Miami.
The Fort Lauderdale Gay Men’s Chorus later issued a statement: "Our fellow
Chorus members were those injured and the driver was also a part of the
Chorus family. To my knowledge, this was not an attack on the LGBTQ
community."
Authorities said one of the victims later died. The other victim was
hospitalized.
The driver had been traveling along the parade route then suddenly
accelerated into the crowd, Trantalis told WSVN-TV of Fort Lauderdale that
Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat who has been serving in Congress
since 2005, later issued a series of statements on Twitter.
"I am deeply shaken and devastated that a life was lost and others
seriously injured at tonight’s @WiltonManorsCty Stonewall #Pride Parade,"
the congresswoman wrote in one message. "My staff, volunteers and I are
thankfully safe."
The truck narrowly missed Wasserman Schultz, according to WPLG. She was
seen by witnesses in tears after the crash.
Nikki Fried, Florida agriculture commissioner and gubernatorial candidate,
was also at the parade. "Our hearts are breaking and we continue to pray
no more innocent lives are lost," she tweeted.

Wilton Manors Mayor Scott Newton said in a statement posted to Twitter, "A
tragic incident occurred at today’s Stonewall event. Out of respect for
everyone involved, the parade has been canceled and a thorough
investigation is being conducted."
The FBI is assisting with the investigation.
