A U.S. judge on Monday set a US$1.2 million bail for the man accused of driving a Jaguar on to a closed Seattle freeway and hitting two protesters, killing one.

Attorney John Henry Browne puts his arm over the shoulders of Dawit Kelete as Kelete makes a court appearance before Judge Mark Chow, on video, Monday, July 6, 2020, in Seattle. Kelete is accused of driving a car onto a closed Seattle freeway and hitting two protesters, killing one, over the weekend. Seattle has been the site of prolonged unrest over the death of George Floyd, a Black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. SEATTLE -- A judge on Monday set a US$1.

But the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has yet to file charges against Kelete. "A charging decision is expected by Wednesday afternoon," spokesman Casey McNerthney said. Kelete is originally from Eritrea and is a U.S. citizen, Browne said. He lives with his family in Seattle, and they're very religious, he said.

Summer Taylor, a 24-year-old veterinary clinic worker, suffered critical injuries and died Saturday night. Diaz Love, 32, from Portland, Oregon, was in serious condition. After Kelete was stopped by state troopers, he agreed to take a field sobriety test for drugs and alcohol. The tests showed he was not impaired, the state patrol said.

Not clear if Police properly close hwy, or if those 2 cars were doing it. Last sentence shows Police culpable by allowing reckless behavior of mob to persist. 'state patrol said going forward it won't allow protesters to enter I-5 and would arrest pedestrians on the freeway.'

You mean BLACK drive CTV

Not charged but 1.2 million bail?

It is just funny a black guy kills a white terrorist who was supporting terrorists from blm

This poor black man was just driving home and these insane brainwashed protesters have ruined his life. CNN & MSNBC have brainwashed a nation of sheep. Over 100 black people were shot and killed over the last week including babies & children in Chicago, Atlanta, N.Y. Sad times.

What kind of protestors play in a freeway in the darkness of night? None of them even had a sign lol. They were part of a left wing mob. I hope the driver gets off. It’s not safe to stop in front of a far left mob, they have shot people.

Their headline would read “white driver” if that was the case. Doesn’t seem to fit their narrative.

Give that man a medal. Stand in the road get plowed the fuck over

Oy vey it was a black man? SHUT THIS ARTICLE DOWN!

bail for terrorist murderers

Completely irrational. Putting black people in jail for an accident. While white people have been blocking highways for nearly a month on behalf of a black rights group. We’re living in idiocracy.

1 of 2 protesters hit by driver on Seattle freeway diesOne 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. 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. There has to be allowed places for conducting protests. Highways are a no-no. Praying for comfort for the family. I notice a lot of magat Trumpers have never crossed a road in their life .

Protester killed on Seattle freeway was dedicated to causeA person killed Saturday when a man who drove his car onto a closed Seattle freeway and into a crowd protesting police brutality was remembered Sunday as someone who was dedicated to the cause. The first Wright Brothers flight wasn't as long. Weird I don't remember you mentioning 19-year-old Horace Lorenzo Anderson who was killed in Seattle's Capitol Hill by protestors? Only morons protest on a freeway!

Man kills one woman, sends another to ICU after driving car into protesters on Seattle highwayInvestigators do not suspect drugs or alcohol to be a factor in the crash Protesting while suicidal is not a good mix Apparently not a woman - cisgender. I’m surprised you haven’t been shut down yet. His name is Dawit Kelete. It's odd this was omitted in report, given it was released 2 days ago. Oh wait, it's not! This is where tender, woke 'reporters' recently tried to cancel Rex Murphy. Selective censorship is right up their alley.
