Two Seattle protesters just got run over. Don’t stand in the middle of the road at night, damn.

The two people who got hit look like they ran back into the path of the car after it swerved to the left to avoid the other protesters. Why the hell.

The white van parked sideways blocking the traffic would’ve made it impossible for any oncoming driver to see if anyone was behind it.

This is one hundred percent the protesters’ fault for blocking traffic and running behind those vehicles where any incoming driver could not have possibly known they were. Likewise, they probably couldn’t see the car coming when they ran into its path.

The driver did not accelerate or hit the protesters on purpose. You can see the driver apply the brakes right before they clear the van, once the protesters come into view.
