Neilson Rizzuto, the driver who stands accused of plowing his pickup truck into a crowd of people gathered to watch the Krewe of Endymion Mardi Gras parade on Feb. 25, pleaded guilty to thirteen misdemeanor vehicular negligent injury charges Thursday morning (Sept. 7) in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.

On Feb. 25, authorities allege Rizzuto plowed head-on into dozens of spectators gathered along the outskirts of the annual Endymion parade in Mid-City. Crash victims ranged in age from 2 to 56, authorities said, and included New Orleans residents, eight out-of-state tourists and an NOPD lieutenant who sustained shoulder and knee injuries as well as a broken leg. Rizzuto has remained jailed since his arrest, unable to make a bond set at $404,000.
