This is truly awful. The circumstances are still unconfirmed but reports through twitter have said the driver of the car was agitated that the road was blocked and forced him or herself through striking 2 pedestrian protesters. Recent twitter reports have stated that at least one of the injured is potentially dead. If you want to watch the aftermath of the incident without sound the video is below.
7:45 p.m. Injury accident on Broadway at 11th Street
A man and a woman were hit at 11th Street and Broadway by a silver Mercedes, after a male driver ran a red light, said Joe Jackson, 37, of Oakland, who witnessed the incident.
The driver was irritated by protesters walking in front of him.
Onlookers said the driver deliberately ran over the pair, accelerating after a man hit on the hood of the car.
The windshield was splattered with what appeared to be a milkshake.
After the car stopped at the other end of the intersection, the driver switched seats with his female passenger.
About 40 people gathered in the intersection and some pulled open the driver’s door.
The woman inside shouted: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
The injured man and woman were taken away in ambulances.
Police let the driver go.
What milkshake? I’m not seeing any sign of any milkshake or anything else on that windshield.
