At least 12 people were injured when a vehicle ploughed into a crowd watching the Krewe of Endymion parade in the Mid-City section of New Orleans.

The crash was reported on Saturday at about 6.45 pm. New Orleans police says that 'initial reports show so far that about a dozen people are in critical condition'.

She says that number could increase as the investigation continues. One woman at the scene told The New Orleans Advocate that a silver truck whisked by her just feet away as she was walking through the intersection.

She said that the driver of the truck seemed almost unaware of what he had just done. -- Agencies
