A car traveling at high speed plowed into a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin, leaving at least 30 people injured, among them several elderly women who were part of a ‘Dancing Grannies’ float, according to reports.

Terrifying video posted to social media shows a speeding red SUV narrowly miss a young girl as she danced in the street during a Christmas parade in Waukesha, some 20 miles west of downtown Milwaukee.

There were also unconfirmed reports of shots fired. Video circulating on social media shows what appears to be a red SUV driving at unusually high speed through the downtown Waukesha area. The vehicle sped through the Christmas parade even as people participating in the procession waved flags.
