Cops Call Van Crashing into Bus Stop Filled with Black Folks An Accident – Eyewitness Call it ‘Hate Crime’ – WATCH

*Let’s start this story this way. Sometimes a situation that looks like one thing could something else altogether.

Earlier today at least six people were injured and taken to local hospitals after a vehicle slammed into a crowded bus stop in north Minneapolis. As of now, authorities are treating it as an accident.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that police took the driver of a van that was involved in the crash into custody, said Metro Transit spokesman Howie Padilla.

Three of the injured people were taken in critical condition to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale. Two others who were hurt were transported to another hospital. As of this posting, the extent of their injuries was not known. However, one person was treated at the scene and released, according to Padilla.

WHITE MAN WHO ‘INTENTIONALLY’ PLOWED CAR INTO BLACK PEOPLE WAITING ON BUS WILL NOT FACE CHARGES

Here’s more via the Star Tribune:

Preliminary information indicated that a man in a tan van driving south on Lyndale Avenue had struck the mirror of a southbound Route 22 bus that had stopped at West Broadway to unload passengers. The man backed up and struck the mirror for a second time, then went around the corner and crashed into the bus shelter on West Broadway, Padilla said.

Darnell DeMarco, manager at the Cricket store, arrived at work a few minutes after the incident, which was reported to police about 9:25 a.m.

“Unbelievable,” he said of the scene that had been taped off by police and had drawn scores of onlookers. “I thought somebody got shot.”

DeMarco said he saw a couple of people loaded onto stretchers and put into ambulances.

“This is very disturbing this early in the morning,” he said.

On the other hand, when DeMarco posted live video and commentary of the incident on his Facebook page, he basically inferred it was a (white) terrorist move … a “hate crime.”

“What appears to be … from what spectators have told me is that a white man in a van rode around the block several times and intentionally crashed into the bus stop where it appears to be several brothers and sisters hanging out and it’s tragic.”
