They have since been released and the bus driver has fled, said Jean Bazlais Bornelus, the police chief for the area. After the incident, other musicians and people in the parade began hurling rocks at the bus and passing vehicles, injuring other people, said Albert Moulion, the Ministry of the Interior's spokesman. The driver of the Blue Sky bus then rammed into three groups of street musicians as he tried to speed away, leaving a scene of ghastly carnage.

Emergency workers took the injured to hospital, while police tried to control an angry crowd at the scene. The bus, which was travelling from Cap Haitien to the capital Port-au-Prince, initially hit two people in a town outside Gonaives in northern Haiti, killing one, said Joseph Faustin, civil protection head in the Artibonite department.
