DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities in Florida say a pickup truck hit a family of six tourists as they were walking back to their hotel after dinner.
The Sun Sentinel reports a woman's leg was severed and a 10-year-old boy suffered serious leg injuries in the Sunday night crash.
Broward Sheriff's Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles told reporters the family was in Florida to go on a cruise leaving Port Everglades on Monday. Their identities weren't released Sunday night.
Jachles says the family members were walking on a wide stretch of grass when the truck hit them. The truck then struck a fence and a light pole. Investigators are looking at alcohol and speed as possible factors in the crash.
Three victims and the 57-year-old driver were taken to hospitals.
