The Terrifying Moment a Man Runs His Car Through a Crowd Of Protesters
(UPDATE: On July 4th, Summer Taylor has passed away at the age of 24. Condolences to Their family, friends and fellow protesters in Seattle.)
A Small group of Seattle based Black Lives Matter protesters that had gathered on the closed Interstate 5, just after 1 am Saturday morning were ending their protest when they suddenly found themselves in the path of a speeding white jaguar that intentionally swerved to plow right through them and then fled the scene.
The protesters, which gather nightly to honor the memory of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain and countless other innocent unarmed Black men and women who have been murdered by police authorities often protest on the closed section of the interstate chanting the names of those we mourn.
The victims of the hit and run are Summer Taylor, 24 of Seattle, a frequent live streamer Diaz Love, 32 of Bellingham. Both have been listed in critical condition. Both women took a hard and direct hit when the vehicle revved it’s engine and sped through the closure.
The Driver of the car has been captured by Seattle authorities and identified as 27 year old Dawit Kelete of Seattle who has been booked on two counts of vehicular assault and denied bail.
