(27 Feb 2017) A float in Rio de Janeiro's world famous Carnival parade crashed Sunday evening, and police said eight people were injured, including at least one in serious condition.The incident on Sunday involved the last float of the first samba school parading through Rio's Sambadrome. The float of samba school Paraiso de Tuiuti crashed into a fence that separates the stands from the pavement, injuring spectators and revellers.The pavement of the Sambadrome is wet because of a persistent drizzle. Rain can make the big floats harder to guide.Paraiso do Tuiuti was the first of six samba schools parading in the night's extravaganza at the Sambadrome, which was scheduled to run until early Monday.You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
