An annual Maryland festival — which attracts thousands of attendees each year — faced a series of setbacks on Saturday when a woman drove into a busy crowd, just hours after a propane explosion rocked the same event.

The driver, 28-year-old Kai Deberry-Bostick, was arrested and criminally charged after “recklessly” breaching barriers and driving down a bustling road at the Main Street Festival in Laurel, Maryland, according to Laurel Police.

Police body camera footage shows Deberry-Bostick sitting in her car, contemplating how to get through the closed-down street. A police officer apologizes for the inconvenience and offers to order her a taxi. 

The shocking encounter came just hours after a propane explosion as vendors were setting up. One person was injured in the explosion and sent to the hospital, Laurel Mayor Keith R. Sydnor said at a news conference.

“This is a festival that’s been going on for 44 years,” Sydnor said. “Unfortunately, this accident happened, but we’re glad everyone is safe.” (X / @cityoflaurel)

The festival’s parade, which usually kicks off the festival at 9 a.m., was canceled due to the incident. Sydnor added he does not think the investigation into the explosion will go further because it was likely a “negligent accident on the vendor setting up.”

“This is a festival that’s been going on for 44 years,” Sydnor said. “Unfortunately, this accident happened, but we’re glad everyone is safe.”

The Main Street Festival closes down Laurel, Maryland’s Main Street each year. It allows thousands of festival-goers to walk around and enjoy a parade, a range of food vendors, arts and crafts, and more, according to the City of Laurel, Maryland website.

Laurel Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
