A young woman is in the hospital with serious injuries after she was hit by a vehicle that veered into a crowd in Riverside during one of “No Kings” Day demonstrations that were held in San Diego and hundreds of cities across the country.
A search was underway for the driver who sped away from the scene.
Police say the hit and run occurred at 9:40 p.m. Saturday on University Ave. — between Main St. and Orange Ave. — when a driver in a dark SUV rammed through the crowd without stopping after several protesters surrounded the vehicle.
Video posted on social media showed protesters gathered around the vehicle before it turns and speeds through the crowd. A voice can be heard saying “They just ran over my sister!”
No other injuries were reported. The injured woman is reported to be 21 years old and she has significant injuries but was reported in stable condition as of Sunday.
