Police took the driver into custody Thursday evening but have yet to release details about why the vehicle was speeding through downtown Gallup as thousands of people lined the parade route.
Blankets, shoes, banners and umbrellas were left strewn along the street and on the sidewalks as people fled. “We just ask for your prayers for all of the participants,” Nez said in a video posted on social media. “We’re all shook up. You would see this on television, you would think it would never happen here. I’m sorry to say it happened here in Gallup, New Mexico.”Two Gallup police officers were among those hurt. Police said no one was killed and they did not have details Friday about the conditions of those who were injured.
The parade was a highlight of the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial Centennial Celebration, which was founded in 1922 to honor indigenous heritage.
