"We heard this collective 'whoa' and then we looked over, and this white truck had come up on the curb, and the curb turned into a guardrail. They hit the guardrail, and then I don't know if the guardrail hit into the person sitting behind it, or if the truck hit her,” said Jackson Township resident Traci Skipper.
Skipper says the atmosphere changed, but they continued their rally.
"It kind of put a damper on the rest of the day, and then we were told by peace marshals to stand further back,” said Skipper.
