re: Bad accident at Endymion - Truck drives into crowd, dozens injured

Just got back out of the chaos. The truck went just behind me and my family as it grazed a black suv on the right then he hit the accelerator hard. He jumped forward and hit the white sedan as he attempted to go around It to the left. This was just into the Orleans intersection. The sedan went to the right into the pole on the right of the intersection onto the neutral ground of Orleans, striking 2 or 3 people. The truck veered hard to the left into the center square of neutral ground of Carrollton and Orleans. It was packed. The crowd was lifting the vehicle off of victims. Blood everywhere. Reports say 12 critical up to 25 reported injured. The crowd panicked and people were screaming and grabbing kids and running. My question is why allow traffic on Carrollton at all. The mayor has been talking all week about dump trucks and busses being used to prevent vehicles from being able to get a direct shot at crowds. There were trucks and a bus there but they were not protecting the crowd. Traffic never stopped flowing behind the crowd on the side of Carrollton opposite the parade route.
