A driver in California has been arrested after he backed his truck into three people moments before a Christmas parade was set to begin Thursday night.
A Ford F-150 pickup truck hit the pedestrians around 5:30 p.m. along the parade route in Downtown Bakersfield, according to the Bakersfield Police Department.
“BPD is conducting an investigation at H St and 21st St which is affecting the original parade route. The Parade Marshall is working to see if rerouting the parade is an option,” the Department posted on X.
Police arrested a 72-year-old man suspected of driving the white Ford truck, according to Bakersfield Now.
The name of the suspect has yet to be released.
Law enforcement said alcohol may be involved.
The three men — whose ages are 21, 42 and 77 — were rushed to a local hospital and are listed in stable condition.

I'm assuming it was a white SUPREMACIST Ford truck.
No..a WHITE FORD 150 PICKUP! No name but we know the truck was white
What is it with parade crowds that causes ‘some’ drivers to lose all of their driving skill?
A 72-year-old man backing up sounds like an accident.
Daryl Brooks out of the slammer?
Brooks is currently serving six consecutive life sentences for his attack on the Waukesha Christmas Parade. But he might get a pardon from Biden.
Remember the horrific Christmas parade attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin.- Darrell Brooks belongs to Black Supremacist sect of Islam called ‘The Five Percent Nation’
It does sound like an accident. But if the following from the article is true...
“Law enforcement said alcohol may be involved.”
...that could be the reason for taking the driver into custody.
Day drinking is apparently a thing in CA
The title is hyped up, typical lefty journo style.
A pickup backing into three people where the driver is likely intoxicated is not a terrorist grade crime.
The crime appears to be a White F150. “White” making it naturally a terribly racist vehicle. And F150 meaning it spits nasties into the air we breath causing global warming.
We own a Ford F150, blue in color, so maybe we aren’t quite as racist.
or a rage incident where to many pedestrians that wouldn’t let him exit.
Add alcohol, and a gathering parade crowd....probsbly getting pretty dark st 5:30.
bkmk
At least some sNews outlets stopped attributing these incidents to unmanned vehicles and specified that it actually had a driver.

Ban assault F150s.
Should have made it a vehicle free zone.
