According to police, Rashad Charjuan Owens, 21, (pictured below left) plowed into a group of pedestrians on Mar. 13, as he fled from an officer on patrol for suspected drunk drivers. The incident left more than 20 people injured.
Owens continued to drive at a high rate of speed, turning right onto Red River Street, which was barricaded off for pedestrians for the SXSW Festival, Austin police said in a news release.
“The suspect crashed through the barricades, hitting several pedestrians on Red River Street between 9th and 11th Streets,” the release said.
Owens is also accused of hitting a moped, a taxi cab and a bicyclist.
