Family members mourning the loss of their loved ones at Chicano Park late Thursday night had to run out of the way as a man in a military uniform began driving erratically on the grass at the park, San Diego Police (SDPD) officers confirm to NBC 7 San Diego.
The incident happened at approximately 10:30 p.m. Wednesday evening at Chicano Park, the site of Saturday's fatal Coronado Bridge crash. The park is located in San Diego's Barrio Logan neighborhood, just south of Downtown San Diego.
Police say a man in a military uniform drove onto the grass at the park late at night and came close to the memorial site, where he started driving erratically.
Family members mourning at the site said they had to rush to jump out of the way to avoid being hit.
One of those family members then called San Diego Police to report the incident.
At the park, tire marks are still visible from where the driver drove erratically.
San Diego Police did not know whether they would have additional security at the site of the memorial Thursday evening.
No other information was immediately available.
