SEATTLE (AP) — A car drove onto a closed freeway early Saturday and struck two people in a crowd protesting against police brutality, killing one and critically injuring the other, authorities said.

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

Taylor and Diaz Love, 32, of Portland, Oregon, were hit by the car that barreled through a panicked crowd of protesters on Interstate 5 early Saturday morning, officials said.

Dawit Kelete of Seattle drove the car around vehicles that were blocking I-5 and sped into the crowd about 1:40 a.m., according to a police report released by the Washington State Patrol. Video taken at the scene by protesters showed people shouting “Car! Car!” before fleeing the roadway.

1. It was at 1:30 or 1:40 AM - dark.

2. It was on a curve on a freeway with limited visibility.

3. With cars traveling at full speed.

4. Whose drivers know that stopping for "protesters" can be a deadly error.

Stupid games, stupid prizes; one won the Grand Stupid Prize.

And, yeah, the guy who hit the fools left the area. Because he didn't want to be killed.

The state of journalism is just in the toilet.  When I first heard about this story, they made it sound like the freeway was closed for construction or repair and that the people that were hit were people just out for a walk--sort of like mall walkers taking advantage of a smooth, expansive, deserted walking surface.  It slowly comes out that they were part of a riot.  Journalism is dead.
