PUEBLO, Colo. (KKTV) -- Two pedestrians were hurt and several cars were damaged when a driver lost control during the Street Rod show at the State Fairgrounds in Pueblo on Saturday. Deputies say alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash.
Deputies say Patricia Held, 63, was arrested for Driving Under the Influence and careless driving causing bodily injury.
It happened around 3 p.m. Saturday at the Rocky Mountain Street Rod National Show at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says Held was driving when she suddenly accelerated and hit a woman and three other cars.
Officials say the pedestrian was taken to the hospital. We don't know the extent of her injuries at this time.
Another girl had minor injuries after a tire rolled over her foot from one of the vehicles that was struck, according to authorities.
Officials say Held also suffered minor injuries.
Deputies say all four vehicles involved in the incident were part of the Street Rod show, which is being held at the fairgrounds this weekend. The event went on as normal.
