Along other lines, it reads, “Last night, emergency response teams responded to a car accident in the vendor campgrounds. One person was transported to the hospital and is in good condition. The investigation is being handled by the Licking County Police Department, and they have one individual in custody“.
Lost Lands Festival organizers have also noted the following in an official statement: “On Saturday night Licking County Sheriff’s department arrested a man after a vehicle was involved in an incident at the vendor camping area, injuring two people, one of whom was taken to a local hospital to receive medical care and is in stable condition.

Tea Lost Lands subreddit is going off the rails as a discussion regarding an incident started last night. Per multiple Reddit accounts, an intoxicated driver ran over multiple tents from vendor camping last night, insulting multiple people. Although this story is still in process for all accurate information, it seems the Lost Lands team is brushing off the accusations and deleting all the comments relevant to the situation.
The Incident At Lost Lands
Reddit became the primary source of information last night as multiple accounts posted pictures of the event. Late night Saturday, a truck went into a rampage and ran over lots of tents. The main account that posted it stated Lost Land security and officials were useless to call 911 or provide any type of assistance for the injured. Later on, the Festive Owl made a post, summarizing what we know as of now.
This is a developing story and more details will come soon. As of now, the official Reddit for the event is deleting comments and posts regarding the incident and no official statements have been announced. The event is a production from Canadian DJ and producer Jeffrey Scott Abel, also known as Excision. It’s an extended camping experience with predominantly bass artists.
