A vehicle plowed into a crowd of people Saturday at a Virginia rally where violence erupted between white nationalist demonstrators and counter-protesters, witnesses said, causing an unclear number of injuries.

A witness said one girl got "tore up" after the car "backed up and they hit again." The incident occurred as hundreds had descended on the normally tranquil city of Charlottesville either to take part in or voice condemnation for a far-right rally that quickly erupted in violence.
