Just happened this hour in seattle, 2 protesters on freeway hit, don't know more
Don’t play on the freeway.
I guess they were playing “Frogger”?
Dancing in the middle of the street? Protestors? Which is it? Unless you’ve got a crowd of people drunk on their butts who else stands in the middle of what appears to be a major county road?
Blocking traffic as a form of protest is standard practice of the mobs. Bound to piss somebody off at some point or scare them into thinking they’re in danger. But ‘’dancing in the middle of the street’’? I don’t know.
If this keeps up, we will be out of rioters before long!
Thats f-n I-5!!!
In my best Joe Pechi BLM voice...”ok-ok-ok-ok...bro...ok? You can play on a neighborhood road ok? But bro...ok...you can’t play on a street, highway, and especially a FREEWAY OK??!
I hope the driver sues them for damaging the car.
That had to hurt.....my Mother always told me to not play in the street someone may not see you....
Don’t anybody play “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” by Meat Loaf in the background.
It wouldn’t be appropriate.
I wonder if it is a Fisker Karma car with the solar roof?
Rich liberal hits two protesting liberals. I can’t blame the driver. He sees the van in the road and drives around it. His focus is avoiding the van. Then two dark shadows right in -—BAM — front of him.
I certainly hope the car wasn’t hurt.
That’s a shame, I hope the car repairs are not too expensive.
yup .... obstructed view
Here’s the video on Twitter: https://twitter.com/J4k3_C4mpb3ll/status/1279344574603726848
Looks like the car stopped.
More video indicates it is a Jag. Protestors ran over to the car, stopped with flashers on. Shouting out the license plate number, then run over to the car.
They are banging on the car and shouting, one guy telling them to get out of the car. A “bang” (fireworks? gunshot?) and then another person comes and is near the front of the car banging on it and shouting. The car takes off. Hopefully the driver was on the phone to 911 at the time.
Folks on twitter are saying the road was closed with barricades by WSDOT to allow this “protest”, at night! It wasn’t a hit and run. The person was afraid of what might have happened if they stayed.
Video of the aftermath shows a ton of aid and police cars, but no “WSDOT barricades”.
The injured are both female. One in critical condition, the other being treated.

Two Seattle protesters just got run over. Don’t stand in the middle of the road at night, damn.
The two people who got hit look like they ran back into the path of the car after it swerved to the left to avoid the other protesters. Why the hell.
The white van parked sideways blocking the traffic would’ve made it impossible for any oncoming driver to see if anyone was behind it.
This is one hundred percent the protesters’ fault for blocking traffic and running behind those vehicles where any incoming driver could not have possibly known they were. Likewise, they probably couldn’t see the car coming when they ran into its path.
The driver did not accelerate or hit the protesters on purpose. You can see the driver apply the brakes right before they clear the van, once the protesters come into view.
