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.

There’s a lesbian tattoo? Geez...I guess I must get out more. I had no idea.
“feeling sorry for them is a waste of time.”
Yeah I hear ya...
There’s a part of me that wants to feel that way too. Yeah, Darwin... Yeah, they got what was coming to them... Yeah I could get a chuckle about it because it’s not my kids that got killed by these people. It’s just that we dont really get anywhere if all we do is laugh and joke about the death of these leftist cannon fodder. It’s the actual perpetrators of this crime, the instigators, the ones who actually caused it... I don’t want them to get away with it anymore.
Slowing down in a mob infested area doesn’t generally work out well for the driver (or the vehicle)
Summer used "THEY" as their pronouns!
HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!
Is his name DemWitt Delete......what a worthless fello. How is he get the car...?? Stowe-d it....
Only Antifa would attack this guy and support the illegal protest.
There's a white bronco hereabouts with a license plate "NOT OJ".
Followed the driver as far as I could to thank him for the laugh.
Lost him in the Sheriffs Dept parking lot...
Good point Jack. Women from bad and good families are susceptible to feminist mind poison.
Speeding? You know that how? You don’t, you’re victim blaming. Take your Antifa shit somewhere else. Expect more of your type to get run over.
Musta been quite the thump to mess them up that bad.
The idea that I am Antifa is so insane that I can’t help but laugh
Your post ranks right up there with the dude who claims I was posting about Ryan Newman’s wreck because I was trying to influence the bookies in Vegas....like they move the line based on Free Republic
“THEY” cost Summer HER life. No other THEYS died, just YOU. YOU paid the price for YOUR leftist folly.
>Is his name DemWitt Delete......what a worthless fello. How is he get the car...?? Stowe-d it....
He didn’t steal the damn car, he owned it. He had a job, unlike you Antifa type. He obviously didn’t buy into your bullshit.
Tat man out of business I guess.....their parents are heart broken I bet.....they don’t even know their parents.
Sympathy only for her family, unless they led her down her path of madness.
It’s not an idea, it’s obvious.
Children?? 24 and 32. They were both way beyond children unless you count their mental state.
Probably not a pair of people I would get along with, but sad still.
alrighty then....
