One of the two women hit by a driver early Saturday morning has died.

Two Seattle protesters are in the hospital after a driver in a white Jaguar plowed into a group of Black Lives Matter activists early Saturday morning during a protest-related freeway closure.
Police say the driver who hit protesters standing on the I-5 at night has been identified as 27-year-old Dawit Kelete.
Police arrested the driver, a 27-year-old Seattle man, according to Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead, who added that the man's motive and point of entry onto the interstate are under investigation, but that he faces multiple felony charges and is suspected to have entered the roadway by driving the wrong way on a ramp.
"My hope is, as a result of this tragedy, protesters will reconsider their desire to be on the interstate because I cannot guarantee their safety, plain and simple," said Mead.
If American's are so racist, why are the majority of BLM protestors white and why are there so few black protestors?
