Ten people, including one officer, were injured when a police motorcycle crashed into a crowd at an annual holiday parade in Palm Springs on Saturday evening.
Ten people were injured Saturday night when a motorcycle officer crashed a bike into a crowd of revelers gathered for an annual holiday parade in Palm Springs, according to the city. The crash happened just after 6 p.m. along the Festival of Lights Parade route at Palm Canyon Drive and Amado Road, officials said. The officer, who has not been identified, and nine others suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were being treated at local hospitals, officials said. Lt.
A witness told The Times that the officer had lost control of the motorcycle while popping a wheelie and had careened into the crowd, injuring attendees. Brenda Taylor, a Palm Desert resident whose daughter was performing in the parade, said she and her son were a few people down from those who were injured. The motorcycle officer was speeding up the street so fast that 'it did not seem safe ... before anything even happened,' Taylor said.
