NEW YORK, April 4 (Xinhua) -- At least 15 people were injured, some seriously, after a vehicle plowed into a crowd at a Lao New Year parade held in New Iberia in the southern U.S. state of Louisiana on Saturday.
The driver, a 57-year-old man, is in custody. A preliminary investigation found that the incident "does not appear to be an intentional act," said Rebecca Melancon, public information officer for the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office.
Organizers of the Louisiana Lao New Year Festival said on social media that they have canceled Saturday evening's music concerts and alcohol sales. ■
