The event has occurred on the 16:40 local time when an off-road vehicle has crossed a Christmas parade that was taking place in the American city of Waukesha, (Wisconsin). Dance groups, high school bands and politicians marched along the town’s main street outside Milwaukee, an event that had been suspended in previous editions due to the pandemic.
