The driver is gay and a member of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Fort Lauderdale and part of the community here - and what he told police was apparently true: when his turn was next in the parade, his foot became stuck between the gas and the break and he lost control of the vehicle, crashing through a fence and tragically killing one person (another member of the Gay men’s chorus), seriously wounding another and almost hitting Rep. Indeed, the Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Dean Trantalis (a family friend, for what it’s worth) gave a statement right away that it had been intentional and a “terrorist attack on the gay community”, which unfortunately added fuel to that speculation.

Witnesses said the driver told police the crash was an accident, according to WPLG-TV in Fort Lauderdale. Unless there was some sort of mechanical failure or other extenuating circumstance that is, and there may very well be. Oh I think it’s safe to assume he’s going to be charged. Investigators were speaking with the driver, who was in custody but authorities wouldn’t say if he had been arrested, Fort Lauderdale Police Det. Oops! Looks like someone was wrong about the motive, as in, THERE WASN’T ONE!
