    "It's a random event," Milner said. "It happened to happen at the Trail Days parade, but it could happen anywhere. It could happen in a Walmart parking lot. I don't think there's really any lesson to learn from this."
    He did question whether the man should have been driving a car in the parade. "If they wanted somebody that can't physically walk (to participate), I think maybe having somebody drive him in a golf cart or something like that would have been more appropriate."

    Dozens of people were injured during Trail Days in Damascus, Virginia.



     you can hear people screaming as hikers move quickly to stop a runaway car from hitting even more hikers. Jennifer Windisch's camper was parked right next to the bridge, and she tells us it was simply chaos. "Hearing the 'thuds,' it was like you knew something wasn't right," she said. Police believe the driver of the 1997 Cadillac that hit the hikers could have had some kind of medical emergency and was going 15 to 25 miles per hour. Few details are being released about the driver, but we did learn he's a Shady Valley, Tennessee resident in his 80s who was a previous Appalachian Trail hiker wanting to take part in this year's parade. "There's always the possibility of charges, but we're too early in the investigation," Chief Nunley said of the man.

    Update: Official deems Trail Days parade crash unintentional

    May 18th, 2013 5:48 pm by ASSOCIATED PRESSDAMASCUS, Va. — Authorities believe the driver who plowed into dozens of hikers marching in a Virginia mountain town parade suffered from a medical condition and did not cause the crash intentionally, an emergency official said Sunday.
    Officials did not have a formal confirmation or any specifics on the condition, but based on the accounts of authorities and witnesses on the scene, they are confident the issue was medical, according to Pokey Harris, Washington County's director of emergency management. "There is no reason to believe this was intentional," she said.
    In what witnesses called a frantic scene at the parade, about 50 to 60 people suffered injuries ranging from critical to superficial Saturday. No fatalities were reported. Three of the worst injured were flown by helicopter
