A firefighter came on the radio to declare two pedestrians were hit by a car in front of the restaurant. 
“Two people down hit by a vehicle right in front of Hong Kong Buffet,” said a Ford River Volunteer Fire Department official, one of numerous firefighting units lined up for the start of the Escanaba Christmas Parade. “Both are conscious and alert – complaining of leg and back pain.”
