OVERTON, Texas
An elderly driver hurtled through barricades into a crowd lined up for a Christmas parade Monday and injured several people, some of them members of a Cub Scout troop, a city official and witnesses said.
City Manager B.J. Potts said the driver was arrested, but alcohol was not detected. "It happened very quickly," Potts said. "There's still a lot of questions."
An executive with the East Texas Area Council Boy Scouts told the Longview News-Journal that 11 people were injured - nine Cub scouts and two adults.
Good thing this sort of thing doesn't happen often:

Just a note to all you holiday shoppers out there. You ever notice that the only people at Radio Shack are the elderly. They must be making their bi-weekly stop at Radio Shack to get rabbit ears and to further investigate this cell phone craze before jetting off to get the early bird and find the ultimate in soft serve yogurt.
Be careful when pulling into your neighborhood Radio Shack, a bevy of out of control Grand Marquis or Oldsmobile (ironic) 88's may be the last thing you ever see.
