RALEIGH, N.C. — The arrest warrant for the 20-year-old man who killed a young girl while towing a float in the Raleigh Christmas Parade faulted the driver for inadequate brakes.
Landen Christopher Glass was behind the wheel of one of two trucks towing a float carrying members of the CC & Co. Dance Complex when spectators say he lost control of his vehicle. One of the group’s dancers — an 11-year-old girl, according to the warrant — was struck at low speed and died from her injuries.
Glass, of Goode, Virginia, faces misdemeanor charges of death by vehicle, reckless driving and possession of a weapon at a parade, along with traffic infractions for improper brakes and failure to reduce speed, according to the public warrant obtained Monday by The News & Observer.
