From The Post Millennial:

One victim is dead and another was injured Saturday after a truck drove into spectators at the Stonewall Pride Parade in Wilton Manors, Florida. It's been revealed that the driver of the pickup truck is a member of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus who told police that the fatal crash was an accident.

On Saturday, the white truck accelerated, hitting two individuals, killing one of the victims. The other is in critical condition at Broward Health Medical Center, but expected to recover. The incident occurred in the municipality of Wilton Manors, a part of Broward County adjacent to Fort Lauderdale.

While the two victims have not been identified, Justin Knight, president of the Fort Lauderdale Gay Men's Chorus, confirmed that both were part of the organization.

"Our fellow Chorus members were those injured and the driver is also a part of the Chorus family," Knight said. "To my knowledge, this was not an attack on the LGBTQ community. We anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community's love and support."

...A senior official briefed on the incident told CBS4 that the initial indications point toward an accident. The driver of the truck told authorities that his foot was stuck between the gas pedal and the brake, causing him to lose control of the vehicle, the official said.

Exploiting this tragedy to score political points against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is disgusting as well as completely predictable.

So a guy’s foot got trapped between the brake and the gas pedal and killed someone at a pride parade in Florida. He was also a member of the pride organization.

The idiot mayor called it an act of terror against the LGBTQ community and now #deathsantis is trending.
