Man does bad crimes, forgets he has a dashcam. No injuries, but the video is harrowing.
Also make sure you've got an ad-blocker on if you click the link, the site is a disaster:

Newly obtained dashcam footage shows a Portland man plowing past blockades and nearly hitting several people including small children along the Rose Festival’s Grand Floral parade route in June.

Sidney Mecham, 42, of Portland pleaded not guilty to 38 counts, including felony unlawful use of a weapon and attempting to elude an officer.

Closing a bunch of exits in a row and trapping people in a crowded lovely freeway that goes past the city you are trying to get to, the way Portland likes to do it, is significantly more disruptive than whatever normal parade closure and detour one might imagine a city run by reasonable adults would do

So yeah, every single downtown exit should not be shut down for a friggin parade. Keep it to surface streets people can possibly avoid, poo poo

That video kinda demonstrates why the exits need to be closed. And it's one Saturday morning a year.
