18. I didn't see cars going the wrong direction in the video.

But that may have happened, I don't know. I didn't watch all of the posted live stream videos.

It doesn't appear to be the case for the moments surrounding the time when the car hit the pole, though. Which happens to be the subject matter of this OP. I urge people to watch what I saw of moments when the car hit the pole, and tell me if I am wrong. My first post in this thread explains what portion of the video(s) one can find it in.

As far as the protesters being in the road; they probably shouldn't have been doing that. But I thought we were talking about the car accident here...
