A car rammed into a group of people peacefully protesting against a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, killing one person and injuring 19.
Donald Trump condemned the “violence on many sides” in the city and the state’s governor has declared a state of emergency.
Witnesses said those hit by the car were people peacefully protesting the planned white supremacist rally and footage showed the vehicle crashing into another car, throwing people over the top of it.
The driver was later arrested, authorities said.
