WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — After an 11-year-old girl was killed during the Raleigh Christmas Parade, other cities in the area are updating some of their parade protocols.

On Saturday, November 19, an out-of-control pickup truck that was pulling a float hit and killed a dancer performing with CC and Co. Dance Company during the parade, officials say. Police are now investigating what went wrong.

The driver of the truck, Landen Christopher Glass, faces charges including misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and unsafe movement. Records show Glass has a history of vehicle violations, including his most recent ticket from October for failure to inspect his car.

In light of what happened, the town of Cary says it's making some changes for its Christmas parade scheduled for December 10. 

• Floats must arrive to the parade site no later than noon 
  
• All drivers need to bring their latest inspection report 
  
• Cary police and fire department will inspect cars and trailer brakes before the parade starts and go over general safety protocols
  
• No more than 16 people are allowed on any float
  
• Candy will not be thrown to spectators to keep people from running into the street. Instead, parade participants must walk along the sidewalk to hand it out

The City of Raleigh says it approves parade permits on a case-by-case basis, but there is nothing in the permitting process that requires the city to inspect cars.

Shop Local Raleigh was the parade leader over the weekend. Its executive director says their team is heartbroken over the tragic events and is cooperating with the police investigation.
