Friends ID woman hit by SUV at ‘No Kings’ protest: ‘She was so proud to be out there’ {Los Angeles}
LA Times ^ | 16th June 2025 | Ruben Vives; Howard Blume

Posted on 06/16/2025 10:02:17 PM PDT by Cronos

Although police have not released the name of the victim, a woman who identified herself as a friend created a GoFundMe page and identified her as 21-year-old Alexa Carrasco.

“She was rushed to the hospital” and was in intensive care with “life-threatening injuries,” wrote the friend, Leslie Hernandez.

She told The Times on Monday that Carrasco remained in critical condition in the ICU but was stable.

Carrasco’s friends also told KCAL-TV that she suffered severe skull injuries as well as a cracked rib, punctured lung and broken leg.

“Alexa is loving, outgoing, and full of life,” Hernandez wrote. “She’s the kind of person who always shows up for others, and she was so proud to be out there using her voice. She did not deserve what happened to her.”

...Video taken by demonstrators and posted on social media shows the black SUV stopped on University Avenue when a group of protesters begins to gather around the vehicle. One demonstrator can be seen bumping into the car’s left taillight while another uses an object to smash the light.

The car then moves forward, around demonstrators and speeds past Orange Street before running over the woman.

It does seem from the video that the driver panicked when surrounded by angry protesters

"It was just a 21-year-old girl protesting for their family, for human, basic rights," friend Minor Garcia said. Carrasco and her friends celebrated her 21st birthday last month

Tsk, tsk. She lives in los Angeles, and doesn't know to stay away from 2 ton steel machines?

It also seems from the video that it would have been a leg injury, if anything. The rest of the "injuries" sound made up and I highly doubt this person is in ICU - she was sitting up fine afterward and had actually been lifted to her feet.

Although...I'm not a doctor and just play one on TV.

There should be a GoFundMe page set up for the driver, to cover getting the vehicle detailed, and the tail light repaired.

Sounds a bit more serious. The good news, should this deluded fool kick off, is that the Rachel Corrie award can be presented posthumously

I can see Trump cashing in some chips on this one. He got some legal firms to agree to defend conservatives, in exchange for not removing them from Government contracts. When the driver gets caught, he’ll probably ask them to defend the driver.

I would say the driver made a good decision when surrounded by angry protesters. Why wait around to be murdered?

I have knowledge of what happened to Reginald Denny & others. Never stop for rioters.

If you are pulled from your car, you will incur millions of dollars in medical debt.

Did the mob block the ambulance?

________________________

The rioters actually did more than surrounding the SUV; they started damaging it.

From the article:

“One demonstrator can be seen bumping into the car’s left taillight while another uses an object to smash the light.”
