The driver of a pickup truck that struck two men, killing one, at a Pride parade in Florida were all connected to the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus, the group's president said Saturday.

The truck was to be part of the chorus' entry in the Stonewall Pride Parade in Wilton Manors, the organization said.

“Our fellow Chorus members were those injured and the driver is also a part of the Chorus family," Justin Knight said in a statement. "To my knowledge, this was not an attack on the LGBTQ community."
