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.

Accuracy in Media corrects the article to state it was a “goat-milk milk shake.” s/

Something doesn’t add up. There are claims that: [1] Driver deliberately struck victims. [2] Driver and passenger switched places in car. Yet [3] Cops let driver go.

...a silver Mercedes...irritated at pedestrians blocking the street

It's their Bonfire of the Vanities moment.

I can’t believe no one’s asked the only really important question here. What flavor was the milkshake?

That's a real stand up guy, letting His girl take the rap. Losers on both sides of this story apparently.
