Deona Knajdek: Minneapolis mother-of-two killed as car hits protesters

A woman who died after her car was struck by another vehicle during a protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been identified as a mother-of-two.

Deona Knajdek, 31, was reportedly using her car to block a street for demonstrators when the other vehicle crashed into hers on Sunday night.

The suspect was detained at the scene by protesters and arrested by police. His motive was unclear.

Activists were demanding more official evidence in the killing of a black man.

Ms Knajdek died after being taken by ambulance to hospital. A second protester was injured and taken to hospital, said police.

Investigators said a preliminary investigation indicated the driver's suspected use of drugs or alcohol might be a contributing factor in the crash.
