The woman hit planters at the Blue Gate at the state fair grounds in Puyallup, according to police.

PUYALLUP, WA - A woman driving at a "high rate of speed" crashed into a gate at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup last week, according to police. Thankfully, the crash happened before the fair was open, and there were no reported injuries.
Police reported that the woman came down South Meridian speeding and then veered off the roadway toward the fair gate. The woman hit planters and other objects in front of the gate before stopping. Police evaluated the woman at the scene, but there was no presence of drugs or alcohol, police said.
However, the woman told police she crashed because she was "talking to god about the 10 Commandments" and was trying to find police to have someone arrested.
