FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The case involving a Jeep that hit two women during a protest in Visalia related to the death of George Floyd is being turned over to the Tulare County District Attorney's Office for review.
The video has been circulated widely on social media and shows the protester holding a sign as she stands in front of the Jeep in the middle of the road near Mooney Boulevard and Caldwell around 3 p.m. The SUV comes to a stop, then moves forward, hitting the woman and lifting her off the road.
Another protester a few steps ahead also appears to have been hit, but the video does not show the impact.
The second protester, Karina Ramirez, says she was left with leg bruises. She says the encounter began when the Jeep pulled up to protesters, started heckling them, and the crowd turned on them.
She saw the first woman get hit by the Jeep before she says she was also struck in the leg.
