Truck Plows into Crowd in New Orleans.

This is breaking I think, couldn't see a thread on it on the recent posts link, just filled with Trump nonsense..

At least 50 people have been injured - a dozen of them critically - after a car ploughed into a crowd watching a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans.

One person arrested at the scene, no indication if this was deliberate or not yet..

A link and a little summary would be nice.

ETA: Oh, never mind, there it is.

In progress?? My brother and his girlfriend are there and I can't get either of them on the phone.

The guy who did it has been arrested.

I hope your family are ok, there is probably a lot of phone calls happening at the minute..

Thank you. Just got a text finally...they're ok but apparently a whole slew of people got hurt and some may not make it.

This hasn't even popped on huffpo yet, I caught it on daily mirror.

I'm extremely relieved to know they are okay

a reply to: Mousygretchen

Thank you lovey...I am too. I was about to freak out!

Carrollton isn't really near Bourbon St. So at least it wasn't near the biggest crowds.

Good Tiger, thoughts go out to those injured, but am happy your family is safe.

Apparently really drunk.

That was from ktla news on tv.

Sounds like it was a drunk driver who has been arrested. But does anyone else notice how often the Mirror UK, RT and other "offshore" media sites so often puts out breaking news?

And yet you have to bring him up when this has nothing to do with him.

My husband used to live in New Orleans a long time ago (worked offshore) I just told him this, and he cut me off, "Drunk f#er on Mardi Gras. Not the first time." ROTFL, not even remotely fazed.

No doubt he'll be somehow responsible.

I reckon don Lemon is probably live now blaming this on Trump.

Couldn't wait to make this tragedies political huh..
