One woman was taken to a hospital with significant injuries after a car drove into a large group of protesters gathered for a "No Kings" rally in Riverside Saturday night.
The crash happened at 9:10 p.m. in the area on University Avenue between Main Street and Orange Avenue when a dark SUV struck the victim.
Police said the car was seen speeding toward the protesters before injuring the woman.
The victim was treated at the scene then transported to a hospital with significant injuries. She was in stable condition Saturday night, police said.
The driver is likely to be investigated for an assault with a deadly weapon rather than a hit-and run, Riverside police said.
The motive was not immediately available.
No other injuries were reported.
