“What started as a celebration quickly turned to tragedy at today’s Stonewall Pride Parade,” Sheriff Tony said in a statement. Sheriff Gregory Tony of Broward County, Fla., said the driver had struck the two men within feet of him and others from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, and that they were “devastated having witnessed this horrific incident.” He said emergency workers had “instantly provided care for the victims.” “We’re speaking with all involved parties - to include witnesses, the driver - we’re doing all that we can to make sure that we do the most complete and accurate investigation and don’t rule out anything prematurely,” Detective Ali Adamson, a spokeswoman for the Fort Lauderdale police said at a news conference on Saturday night. The driver has been cooperative with investigators, the police said, adding that there have been no arrests made. The other man who was struck was expected to survive, but he remained hospitalized on Sunday afternoon, the police said. The authorities have not released the name of the man who died.
