Several people have reportedly been injured in a car crash at the Trail Days Parade in the US state of Virginia.
The incident occurred in the town of Damascus, VA, on Saturday
afternoon during the annual celebration of the Appalachian Trail, a
famous hiking trail in the northeast of the United States. The
nature of the injuries was not immediately known, AP reports.
State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says troopers have
been sent to the scene but she had no further
information.
Four helicopters arrived at the site to airlift the
victims to local hospitals.
According to witness accounts, the car had a handicapped parking
sticker. “He was hitting hikers,” said Vickie Harmon, a
witness. “I saw hikers just go everywhere.”
