From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Chaos briefly ensued today during the annual Cinco de Mayo Parade on Lincoln Boulevard. The street had been closed to vehicles, with barricades placed at various intersections to ensure the smooth flow of the parade. However, one woman driving a red Mercedes had other ideas."
