Love is in serious condition in the intensive care unit, Harborview, Gregg said. <\/p>\n<p>Dawit Kelete of Seattle drove the car around vehicles that were blocking I-5 and sped into the crowd about 1.40am, according to a police report. Video taken at the scene by protesters showed people shouting \u201cCar!

With about 15 seconds left, shouts of \u201cCar!\u201d can be heard as the camera starts to shake before screeching tires and the sound of impact are heard. <\/p>\n<p>A graphic video posted on social media showed the white Jaguar racing toward a group of protesters who were standing behind several parked cars, set up for protection. The car swerved around the other vehicles and slammed into the two protesters, sending them flying into the air. <\/p>\n<p>The driver, who was alone, fled the scene, Trooper Chase Van Cleave said. One of the other protesters got in a car and chased the driver for about a mile. He was able to stop him by pulling his car in front of the Jaguar, Van Cleave said.
