SUV Barrels Through Native American Parade; 15 Injured
Nez said the vehicle was coming at him and a group of tribal officials marching in the parade. He thanked people for their quickly taking action to get spectators and participants out of harm's way.
Tonya Jim said she went to the parade with her parents, grandchildren and children. Her 5-year-old granddaughter, KaRiah, was picked from the crowd to join a group of dancers. Shortly after, the vehicle barreled down the parade route, turned and hit a man across from them who was sitting on a folding chair, she said. KaRiah was helped off the road by someone and was not hurt.
Jim said the family burned cedar and prayed when they got home and did a tobacco smoke prayer Friday morning to calm down. During the mayhem, the SUV swerved onto a side street, pulled into a parking spot before trying to pull out again and then hit a parked car and backed into a police car, New Mexico State Police said. Officers converged on the vehicle and handcuffed the driver and two passengers, police said.
