Driver Crashes Through Protesters on Colorado Boulevard

 
PASADENA, CA (June 6, 2020) – On Sunday, Benjamin Hung was arrested after a car accident involving protesters on Colorado Boulevard.
 
According to reports, at least two drivers crashed through a group of protesters in Old Pasadena. One of the vehicles fled with a man still on its hood.
 
In a separate crash, a white pickup truck with flags crashed through the intersection. Then, it blew smoke out of its tailpipe.
