Lost Lands Festival attendee hits festival-goers with a truck, says LSD is to blame.

An Ohio man has been accused of running over several tents at Lost Lands Festival with a pickup truck. There has been a report of non-life-threatening injuries, however certain individuals have been transported to the hospital. The accused driver made a statement to law enforcement claiming that “psychedelics are wild”, confessing he was on LSD at the time of the incident.

This past Sunday, a 24-year-old identified as Noah Curtis, has been accused of running over multiple people on the camping grounds. With names of the victims still yet to be released, records show Noah saying to law enforcement “I ran over like 6 people” at the festival. Curtis was booked behind bars at Licking County jail the next day for felonious assault with a bond set at $250,000.

Following the police’s investigation, multiple witnesses admitted to seeing people screaming around the truck at the time of the incident, and another bystander claimed that the truck “ran over his entire family.” Curtis was later identified and found leaning against a fence.

Over the weekend, there were also reports of two additional separate incidents at Lost Lands that resulted in tragic losses. James Phromphanh, 34, passed on Sunday and Juan Fantauzzi Lebron, 27, passed on Monday. Despite the efforts of the local medical team, both parties were taken to the same hospital. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
