They were reportedly participating in the Black Femme March on Friday night, for which Washington State troopers had blocked off on-ramps onto interstate 5.
Graphic video [warning: the linked content contains disturbing and violent footage] of the crash has circulated online: in it, people can be heard screaming “car, car!” as the vehicle approaches, its tires squealing while it maneuvers around cars meant to form a barricade. Taylor and Love were taken to Harborview Medical Center, where Taylor died on Saturday night. Love remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit. A Facebook status Love — who was live-streaming the demonstration — wrote on Friday, before the Black Femme March, has circulated widely in the aftermath. “If you’ve been following the Revolution and protests you know the death threats from various hate groups is real, real this weekend,” it reads.
