Police said they arrested a man who drove his SUV through a “No Kings” protest Saturday, hitting at least one person.

The Culpeper Police Department (CPD) said officers stopped Joseph R. Checklick Jr, 21, of Culpeper after they saw him drive recklessly through the group in the area of 801 James Madison Hwy.

Well... at least he was actually driving. I would normally expect phrasing like "the SUV drove..." (independently and without any controlling driver as all cars involved in accidents do *cough*) nowadays.

That reminds me of how when an SUV runs over someone on a bike, it's a "bicycle accident".
