Ruston saw two major incidents this year as the Taste was winding down. The News Tribune has details about an accident that sent a car into the building at 50th and Pearl. It appears injuries were not life-threatening, but a pretty spectacular scene. Sorry for the poor picture quality, I'm not too good with my phone camera...
A few hours before, a high speed chase ended in Ruston. It started along Ruston Way when a car decided to try to ram a Tacoma police cruiser. The chase came through the tunnel and Ruston police were able to get a device onto the road that took out some of the tires on the car as it sped down Winnifred. The entrance to the parking lot had been cleared at 54th, but since the road was blocked the vehicle turned east on 54th. The car stopped shortly after turning onto Bennett and the driver was arrested.
Another interesting weekend in town! More on the post-Taste clean up fun later.
