Re: BLM Protestors Struck By Vehicle In Seattle, WA
Summer Taylor, 24, and Diaz Love, 32, were taking part in a Black Femme March as part of a nightly protest on a closed stretch of Interstate 5 in Seattle when the incident took place early on Saturday, July 4. Troopers and personnel from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) used their vehicles to block on-ramps as protesters were about to enter the road on their way back to Capitol Hill, after going on their nightly march to the Seattle Police Department’s West Precinct. At around 1.30am, witnesses saw a white car heading south at a high speed. It swerved around two vehicles positioned as a barrier before heading toward the protesters, the Seattle Times reports. The vehicle hit both Summer and Diaz and sent them flying into the air. The driver, Dawit Kelete, 27, continued driving for about two miles before police caught him. Summer and Diaz were taken to Harborview Medical Center, where Summer tragically passed away. Diaz was in serious condition and was take to the intensive-care unit. Diaz had been livestreaming the march for two hours ahead of the incident, but the stream ended abruptly after shouts of ‘car!’ and the sound of screeching tyres. A witness to the scene, named Aaron, said: I don’t know what happened, but it didn’t seem like an accident at all. He didn’t hit his brakes, he didn’t stop. Summer’s former colleague, Katelyn Hoberecht, said Summer, who used nonbinary pronouns, had showed their support for Black Lives Matter at a number of protests. Katelyn commented: Summer has been there since Day One standing up for Black lives. Staying out all day and night, while still working full time taking care of animals. Summer talked me about the protests, and how incredible it was to be a part of something so huge. A part of history. |

Re: BLM Protestors Struck By Vehicle In Seattle, WA
That witness Aaron should change his name to "Maron" It is clearly seen the driver braked the car, the front end lowers just before hitting both women, then the trajectory of the car proves it as it swerves after hitting them, if he had not break, the car would've gone in a straight trajectory. |
