overpass

A number of Waymo self-driving vehicles were set on fire near Olivera Street, and a group of California Highway Patrol officers on the 101 Freeway were pelted with items from protesters on the overpass above.

This time, Ottumwa is having its own demonstration on a highway overpass, said Bailey Johnson, a vice chair of the Wapello County Democrats, who is organizing the event.

Guards have been stationed 24 hours a day at the entrances to overpasses and bridges to prevent any protests, some of them in army uniforms.

Meanwhile, at least five police officers were treated on the scene for injuries sustained when a few protesters threw rocks from highway overpasses onto cars and one fired paintballs at officers.

In the hours that followed, they stole two more vehicles before ending up in a Chevrolet Silverado under a freeway overpass in Boyle Heights, shielded from the police and TV helicopters overhead.
