One of two people hit by a man who drove his car onto a closed Seattle freeway and into a crowd protesting police brutality has died.

Summer Taylor, 24, of Seattle died Saturday evening at Harborview Medical Center, spokesperson Susan Gregg said.

A graphic video posted on social media showed the white Jaguar racing toward a group of protesters who are standing behind several parked cars, set up for protection. The car swerves around the other vehicles and slams into the two protesters, sending them flying into the air. A judge found probable cause to hold Kelete on an investigation of vehicular assault. He faces a second court hearing on Monday at which the judge will determine if he can be released on bail, according to court documents.Officials were trying to determine the motive as well as where he got onto the interstate, which had been closed by the state patrol for more than an hour before the protesters were hit. Mead said they suspect Kelete drove the wrong way on a ramp.

Physics wins

I am going to sue somebody for not telling me that I could die if I stand in the middle of a highway.

Wait. Defund the police BUT the police are there?

Notice CNN didn't mention that the driver was black but did mention that the car was white

The side of the road would’ve been the wiser choice.

The victim's pronouns are were/was.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Make Darwin proud, would ya? 🤣

Just take all the warning labels off everything and let Natural selection take care of the rest.

Natural selection at work.....

It’s a shame that the young woman died. Who decided to protest on a highway, at night, wearing black clothing? Why have the police not shut down these protests? The protester was white and the driver is black. The irony... blm

High=cars=high speed - protest +highway=death

Guess you shouldn't park vans across an interstate in the dark. Thid years Darwin award goes to...

was being a part of a movement that gives opportunists a chance to shine worth it?

Humans must remember when they're angry you can bet other people are angry as well and it might be on a different spectrum then yours and that is when proverbial worlds collide which can bring death like the wars of the past that anger has brought

This is what happens when you protest on a dark highway in the middle of the night.

Didn’t the parents ever teach them..don’t play on the street

Protesters on the sidewalk, cars on the road! If someone gets hit and killed then, there is no question who's fault it is!

I notice a lot of magat Trumpers have never crossed a road in their life .

There has to be allowed places for conducting protests. Highways are a no-no. Praying for comfort for the family.

To the losers cheering on the horrific death of a young lady.. Ever hear of karma. PS the highway was closed at the time you tools. It was not like she was crossing an interstate during rush hour.
