(Waukesha, WI) -- As a marching band was performing in the Waukesha Christmas Parade, a red SUV drove through parade route barricades and into the band performers, other parade participants, and into the crowd lining the street, Waukesha Police say more than 20 people are hurt, and there is a report that more than one person is dead.
Dan O'Donnell is taking live callers Sunday evening on NewsTalk 1130 WISN. One man tells O'Donnell the SUV flew through the parade route, hitting people, and continuing out of sight.
