Joy turned to terror at a Christmas parade in Raleigh, North Carolina, when a pickup truck struck at least one of the parade performers on Saturday morning. 

Video shows the horrifying moments before a young girl with the CC & Co. Dance Complex was struck by a white truck that was towing a parade float. Parade participants scattered as the driver lost control of their vehicle, honking wildly and shouting that the brakes were not working. 

Paraders scattered as the truck began picking up speed down the street. A few individuals can be seen chasing after the vehicle and attempting to bring it to a stop.

They are initially unsuccessful, as the truck rolls forward while towing a float behind.
