<p>Louisiana police have charged a man with impaired driving after his car slammed into a crowd during a community parade on Saturday, injuring several people, some critically.</p>
<p>Louisiana State Police said they arrested Todd Landry, 57, and charged him with driving while impaired, 18 counts of first-degree negligent injuring and careless operation following the incident in New Iberia, Louisiana.</p>
<p>He is also accused of having an open container with an alcoholic beverage in the vehicle.</p>
<p>The incident occurred during a Lao New Year celebration, the Louisiana State Police said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Multiple pedestrians&#8221; were struck by the vehicle as Landry drove it, police said.</p>
<p>Earlier, the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office said at least 15 people had been injured.</p>
<p>Landry showed signs of impairment, and a breath sample showed he had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.137%, police said. The legal BAC limit for drivers in most U.S. states is 0.08%.</p>
<p>Reuters could not determine if Landry had a lawyer.</p>
<p>Acadian Ambulance posted on social media that it transported 13 people to the hospital. Two of them were airlifted, the ambulance service wrote on X.</p>
<p>Organizers of the Louisiana Lao New Year Festival said on Facebook they were cancelling Saturday evening&#8217;s music concerts, as well as alcohol sales.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are profoundly saddened by the news of the incident near the festival grounds,&#8221; the organizers said on Facebook. &#8220;We are praying for the victims and for their families during this difficult time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The three-day festival held every Easter weekend includes live music, parades and other activities celebrating the Lao New Year.</p>
