DAMASCUS - An emergency official says about 50 to 60 people were injured after car drove into a group of hikers at a parade in a small Virginia town. Washington County director of emergency management Pokey Harris said today that no fatalities have been reported. The incident happened about 2:30 p.m. during the Hikers Parade at the Trail Days festival, an annual celebration of the Appalachian Trail in Damascus, a small mountain town near the Tennessee state line about a half-hour drive east of Bristol. A Washington County's Sheriff's Office dispatcher directed questions about the incident to Damascus Police Chief Bill Nunley.
