Newly surfaced footage shows the terrifying moment a car plowed into a group of counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally in Virginia, killing one and injuring 19 others.
People demonstrating against the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday are heard chanting, “Whose streets? Our streets, ” moments before a gray Dodge Challenger – driven by white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. – rams the protesters and crashes into the car in front, the clip shows.
Bodies are seen flying in the air over the hoods of cars as horrified screams ring out before the Dodge Challenger reverses at a high rate of speed up the block.
“That Nazi just drove into people, ” a man can be heard shouting off-camera in the clip. “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Holy sh-t! People are badly hurt, badly hurt. We need paramedics right now.”
“Somebody might be dead, ” the man says as people can be seen running to the aid of those struck amidst a scene of chaos.
Heather Heyer, 32, a Charlottesville paralegal and fighter for social justice, was killed in the attack .
Fields, a Nazi sympathizer, was charged with second-degree murder and other counts.
He is set to appear in court on Monday.
