Truck driver loses control at Raleigh holiday parade, one seriously injured

At least one person was injured at the Raleigh Christmas Parade when a truck careened out of control and hit someone.

Multiple witnesses said the white truck with the CC & Co. Dance float lost control. That dance troupe had 200 performers in the parade, with some as young as 5 years old.

People said they heard the driver screaming out of the truck’s window that he had lost control and couldn’t stop the vehicle.

Police are still investigating exactly what happened, but it appears that the out-of-control truck hit a young girl and seriously injured her. The accident happened at Hillsborough Road at Boylan Avenue.
