Man Accused Of DUI In Colorado Convention Center Crash
DENVER (AP) - Prosecutors say the driver of a pickup truck that crashed into the front doors of the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, injuring two bystanders, was drunk.
The Denver District Attorney's Office said Tuesday that 25-year-old Randolph John Blazon has been charged with two counts of driving under the influence and two counts of careless driving resulting in injury.
He reportedly crossed a street, went between two light poles and struck a tree before plowing into the convention center. He couldn't be reached for comment.
Police say a man and a woman who had been inside the building were hospitalized with minor injuries after being struck by flying debris in Monday's crash.
The convention center's trademark giant blue bear statue wasn't damaged.
