At least 18 people have been electrocuted by a power line on a carnival float in the Haitian capital, Port au Prince.
Witnesses said someone on the float used a stick to move a power line to let the float pass, the Associated Press news agency reported.
A doctor at a nearby hospital told the news agency that at least 18 people had died.
President Michel Martelly gave his condolences to the victims on Twitter.
"My sincere sympathy to the victims of the serious incident at Champ de Mars on the second day of carnival," the president tweeted in French.
Witnesses said some people managed to jump off the float, causing panic amid the crowd surrounding it.
"I saw the wire falling and sparks and I started running for my life," Natacha Saint Fleur told the Associated Press.
Thousands of people were celebrating carnival in the streets of the capital when the accident happened.
