Hit-and-run suspect drives into Folsom Field in Colorado

A suspect in a hit-and-run crash was arrested Thursday night after he drove his truck onto the field at Folsom Field in Colorado.

Boulder police said they received a call reporting multiple hit-and-run crashes involving the same blue pickup truck near Foothills Parkway and Arapahoe Avenue, about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the stadium. The driver of the truck struck several trees and a car as he fled, nearly hitting a witness at the scene.

Both Boulder Police and University Police attempted to stop the driver before he crashed into a gate leading to Folsom Field, stopping the truck near the 40-yard line along the visitors’ sideline. After negotiating with police, the driver got out of the truck and surrendered.

Boulder police identified the suspect as Karl E. Haglund, 48, of Massachusetts. He is being held in the Boulder County Jail on several charges, including three counts of hit and run after damage, attempted assault with a vehicle, reckless endangerment, driving without insurance and trespassing.

No one on campus was injured in the incident, a university spokesman told ESPN.

Colorado’s football team visits Colorado State on Saturday before returning to Folsom Field to face Baylor on Sept. 21.
