Urgent: Hit-and-Run at No Kings Protest in Ohio Injures Woman

URGENT UPDATE: A serious incident occurred during a No Kings demonstration in Jackson Township, Ohio on Saturday, October 7, 2023, when a man allegedly struck a protester with his pickup truck and fled the scene. The 53-year-old woman was injured after being hit by a white 2023 Ford F-150, raising urgent concerns about the safety of demonstrators in politically charged environments.

Witnesses reported that the driver veered off the road, hitting the woman who was part of a nationwide protest against former President Donald Trump. Thousands gathered near North Park as part of a larger movement that organizers claim involved over 7 million people across more than 2,600 events nationwide.

The 77-year-old driver insists he did not intend to harm anyone, stating, “I don’t even remember it happening. It wasn’t anything like on purpose.” He claims that local police gave him a “total thumbs-up” after the incident, absolving him of any wrongdoing. However, Jackson Township Police Chief Mark J. Brink denied this assertion, stating that no such conversation took place.

Witnesses, including demonstrator Lorraine Wilburn, provided critical evidence, including photographs of the truck and its license plate, allowing law enforcement to locate the driver at his Jackson Township residence. Wilburn stated, “It was definitely on purpose. He went up on the curb. She took a direct hit.” Although the injured woman reportedly raised her fist in defiance, suggesting she was okay, hospital reports indicate she sustained a leg injury.

The woman was treated at a nearby hospital for what authorities believe to be minor injuries. As police consult with the Massillon City Prosecutor’s Office regarding potential charges, the incident raises significant questions about accountability and public safety during protests.

Next steps include potential legal action against the driver as investigations continue. The community is left reeling from the incident, highlighting the risks involved in politically charged demonstrations and the urgent need for measures to protect participants.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as authorities continue their investigation.
