Canada ? A pickup truck plowed through a crowd leaving a pre-wedding celebration in western Canada, killing six people and injuring 19, police said Saturday.

The 71-year-old driver of a truck lost control and ran into 25 to 30 people who were walking along a rural road toward him, police in Abbotsford, British Columbia, said.

The victims had been at the bride’s parents’ house and were heading to another home, making their way along an unlit road lined with parked cars, according to police and a neighbor.

Jagdish Gill, whose daughter is a friend of the bride, said the group was taking part in a traditional Indian procession.

Neither the bride nor the groom was injured, she said, and the wedding will go ahead today as scheduled.
