A man driving a red Toyota Tacoma injured nine pedestrians in Downtown Fullerton early Sunday morning. Fullerton police officers

responded to the call at 2 a.m. Officers responding to the scene found the truck on the sidewalk emitting smoke, with severe front end damage and its airbags deployed. The car was stopped by a tree with several victims still pinned under it, according to a press release from the Fullerton Police Department. With the help of several civilians, police officers were able to

lift the truck and pull out everyone trapped underneath. Medical care was provided for the moderate to critical life-threatening injuries. The victims were between the ages of 18 to 49 and were taken to the hospital, said Fullerton Police Sgt. Tim Kandler. “There were 10 people taken to the hospital, nine of which were victims of the subject running them over.

The 10th was a passenger in the truck that was in the primary vehicle involved,” Kandler said. The driver was identified as Christopher Solis, 22, and was suspected to be under the influence of drugs. He did not need medical attention and was taken to the Fullerton Police Department after being arrested for a felony DUI causing great bodily injury.

Tet Festival The aroma of freshly cooked meat, the sound of foreign words mixing together in the background and distant drumming from lion dance music are all signs that the Tet Festival is in season. The 38th annual festival took place at the OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa this weekend as the year of the pig was celebrated. The opening ceremony on Saturday afternoon welcomed Vietnamese veterans as they marched in proudly carrying both the Vietnamese and American flags, a significant gesture representing the unity of the two cultures. Following this theme of Asian-American pride, the audience stood in silence as the Vietnamese national anthem played and stayed standing as a young woman proudly sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Union of Vietnamese Student Association (UVSA) hosted the annual Tet festival and chose this year’s theme to be “Stories of Our Heritage” as a reminder for the youth not to forget where they came from. Activities for all ages occurred throughout the three-day festival to encourage participation from attendees. From watching singers and dancers on the main stage to speed eating pho on the contest stage, the festival’s agenda didn’t leave any room for boredom. The amount of food vendors lining the aisles seemed never-ending. While this event introduced people to many

The village stage had its own performances from the local community and attendees themselves. As the night came to a close on each of the three days, the village hosted live karaoke

performances where participants sang songs while friends, families and strangers in the audience cheered them on. Làng Viet Nam also served as an interactive display of everyone’s wishes for the new year. Provided with colorful paper in different shapes and sizes, attendees were encouraged to write their personal hopes and dreams and display it for others
