WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A South Florida man described the scene when a van crashed into a crowd of people in Barcelona as chaos.
He and his family were among the thousands nearby running for their lives in the Las Ramblas district.
Justin Ritkes of Broward County says he was on vacation with his family when the van plowed into he crowd.
He says his family was feet away when a white van jumped the sidewalk plowing into the crowd. They hid in a nearby restaurant.
Roberta Jorda is a former Jupiter resident. She now lives blocks away from the Las Ramblas district.
She says there were cops everywhere.
"The officers were blocking the streets and they didn't allow people crossing there, telling everybody to go to their homes," said Jorda.
For now, it's a much calmer scene, but still hard to shake the terror they saw.
