Man drives pickup truck onto field at Colorado Buffaloes' football stadium
View Date:2024-12-23 17:11:14
A 48-year-old man in a pickup truck rammed a gate at the University of Colorado's Folsom Field Thursday night and drove onto the football field before surrendering to police, according to the police department in Boulder, Colorado.
By doing so, he arguably was more successful at moving downfield at that stadium than the Colorado Buffaloes running game under football coach Deion Sanders. The Buffs (1-1) rank dead last nationally in rushing yards per game this year (37.5) after ranking last nationally last year, too.
Boulder Police said they are investigating multiple traffic crashes that culminated with the same man driving on the field.
“Witnesses reported that a man driving a blue pickup truck was involved in at least two hit-and-run crashes, as well as striking several trees and signs before driving away,” Boulder Police said. “During this incident, the witnesses tried to stop the driver from leaving and one person was almost struck by the pickup truck. The driver continued driving, struck another car and more trees.”
Boulder Police said they attempted to stop the driver, but he eluded officers. Then within minutes the man was spotted near Folsom Field.
Police identified the suspect as Karl E. Haglund, 48, of Massachusetts. Police said he will be booked on charges of criminal attempt vehicular assault, reckless endangerment, trespassing and vehicular eluding and leaving the scene of a crash after damage, among other charges.
The Colorado football team plays its home games at Folsom Field but is not playing there this week. The Buffaloes play instead at Colorado State at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday on CBS.
