An alleged drunk driver struck multiple people at a Christmas parade on the Navajo Nation in Arizona on Monday, according to officials.

The Navajo Police Department said officers responded at about 5 p.m. after four people were struck by a driver who was allegedly intoxicated. The driver drove into the parade route as bystanders were waiting for it to start.

Police confirmed “life was [lost] during this tragic event as family gathered for this joyous occasion to brighten the holiday season.”

“A tragic event during the holidays can change someone’s life and hurt families across the Navajo Nation,” police wrote on Facebook. “If you see someone who may be impaired, take their keys, help them get home safely, or call your local Navajo Police Department.”

“This event was meant to bring joy, unity, and holiday spirit to our community—and is a time for families to come together and celebrate,” Nygren wrote on Facebook. “No one should have to experience tragedy during a season meant for love and togetherness.”
