PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Rabi'II 28, 1436, Feb 17, 2015, SPA -- At least 18 people on a packed Carnival float in the Haitian capital were killed Tuesday when they were electrocuted by a power line, AP reported. The accident occurred as thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Port-au-Prince for an annual celebration. People at the scene said someone on the float used a pole or stick to move a power line so the float could pass under it. Some of the victims were instantly electrocuted in a flash of sparks, according to witnesses. --SPA 12:58 LOCAL TIME 09:58 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
