8 injured at Tenn. Shriner's parade

August 13, 2007

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --A mini-car and a dune buggy collided during a Shriner's parade, sending one of the vehicles into the crowd and injuring eight people, police said Monday.

"It was just a freak accident," said a police spokesman, Rick Mincy. "I don't think they were careless."

No charges were filed in the accident Saturday. The two vehicles were going in circles around each other when the car ran into the crowd.

A 3-year-old and an adult in the crowd each suffered a broken leg, Mincy said. A 7-year-old spectator, the car's driver and another adult were taken to a hospital with what Mincy described as minor injuries.
