A car drove onto a closed freeway early Saturday and struck two people in a crowd protesting against police brutality, killing one and critically injuring the other, authorities said.
Summer Taylor, 24, of Seattle died in the evening at Harborview Medical Center, spokesperson Susan Gregg said.

Dawit Kelete of Seattle drove the car around vehicles that were blocking I-5 and sped into the crowd about 1:40 a.m., according to a police report released by the Washington State Patrol. Video taken at the scene by protesters showed people shouting Car! Car! before fleeing the roadway.
Love is in serious condition in the intensive care unit, Harborview, Gregg said.
Love was filming the protest in a nearly two-hour-long Facebook livestream captioned Black Femme March takes I-5 when the video ended abruptly; with about 15 seconds left, shouts of Car! can be heard as the camera starts to shake before screeching tires and the sound of impact are heard.

The driver, who was alone, fled the scene after hitting the protesters, Trooper Chase Van Cleave told The Associated Press. One of the other protesters got in a car and chased the driver for about a mile. He was able to stop him by pulling his car in front of the Jaguar, Van Cleave said.
Troopers arrived, and the driver was put in custody, Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead said.
Kelete was described by offices as reserved and sullen when he was arrested, according to court documents. He also asked if the pedestrians were OK, the documents say.

I have no sympathy for them. I have become quite hard hearted about this nonsense
Do not block the street and put innocent drivers in bad situations
Mexican drug gangs operate businesses in most cities in the US. .gov made it hard for them to move money out of the country so they used it here.

The media were hoping he was a white male, Trump supporter, with a trunk full of MAGA hats.
“Im with you except for the part about children aged 24 and 32.”
I understand what you say. These kids had plenty of time to ‘grow up’. But they made the decision to walk out in the middle of a highway to try and block the road in the middle of the night. Even if someone instigated you to do so... even if someone told you it was okay... Even if someone told you it’s the right thing to do.
That’s a childs mind that made the decision to do that. Didnt have the chance to grow up. Miseducated by the communist indoctrination centers that turned these kids into fanatics. Some people are 60 - 80 years old and still didnt grow up.
I think that this is an issue that should get all the way to the presidents desk. Justice dept needs to be looking the root cause of this incident because there is a sickness that dwells there. And dont come back with any leftist Horse Fertilizer about being ‘driven’ to do it by racists either.
>>Was it offically closed with official barriers, warning signs and so forth or was it just blocked by vigilante leftist terrorists [aka in the leftist terrorists supporting press as “peaceful” demonstrators] <<
I think the police are saying they had put up barriers at on ramps and had blocked the roadway off for the protestors. I highly doubt they could completely block off that section of roadway. The idiot protestors are saying this guy drove down an exit ramp to get on the hiway, I doubt that.
They also say he backed up and tried to hit them again, which is an obvious lie as we can see from the video, and also claim there were four white supremacists seen hiding in the bushes filming the entire thing, also a police officer had been circling them shouting racial crap at them.
Seriously, they said all those lies. They had a “press conference” yesterday, which in reality was a lie conference. It was disgusting to sit and listen to it.
They’ve arrested the guy who was driving the car and charged him with vehicular homicide, which is BS. They need to arrest the demonstrators, and also the cops who allowed them to go onto the hiway.
He had the correct solution to Chile's Communist infestation.
they’ll give a shit when they get sued to high heaven....
Was the Jaguar stolen?
Old expression...
“Drive it like you stole it.”
Media just can’t help themselves. They were not yelling “car car” and getting off the road, they were yelling it and moving in front of it.
>>searching around to see what people are saying..and how did this guy afford a jaguar
here is one headline...his background may get interesting

Why are you attacking the driver. He did nothing wrong. He did the same thing I would have done. Be honest, are you Antifa?
Do NOT play on the interstate highways.
>>Was the Jaguar stolen?<<
Really? You’re going to attack the innocent party here? More Antifa?
I see your point, but I can’t really agree. If people are over 21 and legally making their own decisions, I believe they alone are responsible when poor choices lead to bad outcomes.
Don’t play in the street bump!
Oh, Lord have mercy. They both fell out of the ugly tree and smacked every branch on the way down. Then they got up and repeated that with the stupid tree.
LOL
It’s a start.
