The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office has charged a Vallejo man with hit-and-run and driving under the influence for injuring two people while allegedly driving his SUV into vendors setting up for the Walnut Creek Farmers' Market on Sunday. Police were called just after 5:15 a.m. to Locust Street between Cole and Lacassie avenues, an area typically closed on Sundays for the market.

Chavez fled the scene until police located his damaged vehicle entering Interstate Highway 680 at Lawrence Way. Officers pulled him over at 5:20 a.m. on Buskirk Avenue, near the Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station, and arrested him. The District Attorney's Office filed charges Wednesday.
