Hundreds of trucks and other vehicles streamed into the Hagerstown Speedway on Thursday evening as the first group of a rolling political demonstration arrived on its way to Washington, D.C.

The Northeast convoy from New England stopped over with plans to join The People's Convoy headed from California to the nation's capitol to protest pandemic-related government mandates.

"The large convoy from the west will arrive tomorrow afternoon to join the northeast!" said a posting Thursday on a Facebook page highlighting the trek from California. "The People's Convoy becomes one!"

The Northeast convoy departed Harrisburg, Pa., Thursday afternoon, according to the post, and began arriving at the speedway on National Pike west of Hagerstown around 6:15 p.m. ... Supporters gathered around the entrance to greet the rumbling line of vehicles decorated with flags, signs, flashing lights and blaring horns, bells and music.
