An alleged drunken driver hit a crowd of pedestrians at SXSW overnight, killing two and injuring 23. The man and woman who died were riding a moped on E. 11th St., according to the Austin Chronicle.
The crowd was milling behind a police barricade set up to restrict traffic outside the venues Cheer Up Charlies and the Mohawk on Red River Street. The line-up at Charlies included Kurt Vile, and Cloud Nothings, and at the Mohaw included Cities Aviv, X, and Teen.
According to the Chronicle, the driver of the vehicle was fleeing from police when he plowed into the crowd. The car also hit a cab and a parked van. The man fled the scene on foot and was arrested after being tasered by police.
The official @SXSW Twitter feed read, “If you were on the scene at the car/pedestrian accident on Red River March 13, please call APD – 512-974-5186.”
SXSW is scheduled for March 7-16 in Austin. The SXSW Music festival runs March 11-16. More from The L.A. Times.
