Police have taken a suspect into custody, but have not identified him yet.
“We are currently treating this as a criminal homicide investigation,” Charlottesville police Chief Al Thomas told reporters. A 32-year-old woman who has not been named by police yet, was killed by her injuries sustained in the crash. Eyewitnesses have described the act as deliberate.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency Saturday morning after clashes escalated. President Trump condemned hatred and bigotry from both sides.
What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.#Charlottesville pic.twitter.com/DB22fgnu6L
