Columbia police looking for drivers in hit-and-run incidents during protests

Columbia police are looking for two drivers that allegedly hit people with their cars during the George Floyd protests Monday night.

Authorities say a 21-year old woman and a 25-year old woman were hit by the cars as protesters blocked traffic at the Broadway and Providence intersection. Both incidents happened around 8 p.m., about 30 minutes apart. One of the victims was taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

The names of the drivers are still unknown. Police say one was described as a white man with blonde and brown hair.
