Bellevue Iowa- a town of around 2300 people- sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River about 20 miles south-southeast of Dubuque.
On Sunday during Bellevue's annual Independence Day parade- two horses attached to and pulling a passenger carriage- somehow got spooked and went running wild along the parade route packed with children and adults.

After several blocks the horses were finally stopped- but not before 25 children and adults were trampled- several critically- and a woman in the out-of-control carriage was killed- according to the CEDAR RAPIDS (IA) GAZETTE.
