Truck kills one, barely misses Wasserman Schultz at Florida Pride event [View all]

A pickup truck ran over two people, killing one of them, and narrowly missing a member of Congress during a pride parade in South Florida on Saturday evening, according to WPLG Local 10.

A white pickup truck was lined up with other floats at the Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival in Wilton Manors on Saturday evening when the driver reportedly hit the gas pedal and ran over two bystanders, WPLG reported. Wilton Manors is just north of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who was present at the parade and sitting in a convertible, was almost hit by the vehicle. The Florida lawmaker later confirmed on Twitter that she, her staff and others were safe.
