The man drove to CU Boulder's Folsom Field after escaping several crashes

Boulder, Colo. — A driver suspected in several hit-and-run crashes was arrested Thursday evening after driving to the University of Colorado Boulder's Folsom Field.

The Boulder Police Department said it received a call around 6:45 a.m. about several hit-and-run accidents involving the same pickup truck near Foothills Parkway and Arapahoe Avenue. Witnesses told police a man driving a blue pickup truck was involved in at least two hit-and-run accidents. According to police, he struck several trees and signs before driving away.

Witnesses tried to stop the alleged driver, but he sped off, allegedly hitting another vehicle and more trees.

Boulder PD attempted to stop the driver but he eluded officers, according to the department. A few minutes later, he was spotted near Colorado and 28th Streets.

Officers from the CU Boulder Police Department attempted to stop the truck on Stadium Drive, but the driver eluded officers again before breaking through a gate and driving onto Folsom Field, according to Boulder PD.

Boulder PD said the driver got out of his truck and surrendered after some negotiations.
