According to the Associated Press, there were "several hundred" demonstrators in the crowd when the car drove through it.

Law enforcement officers say that 19 people were injured in horrifying incident while one person has passed away due to injuries sustained from being hit by the car.

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer wrote on Twitter that he is "heartbroken" over the death.

"I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of good will--go home," Signer wrote.

The names of the deceased person and the injured demonstrators have yet to be released.

Thankfully, police have arrested a person they believe is the driver of the vehicle. It likely wasn't difficult to locate the driver, given the vehicle's characteristics and it's license plate were widely captured on video.

The AP reported the driver of the vehicle is a man. Police have yet to release the suspect's name.

Protests remain ongoing in Charlottesville. "Alt-Right" supporters and white nationalists had gathered in the city to protest the city's decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The demonstrations became violent when counter-protesters and Antifa demonstrators confronted the confederate supporters.

Prior to the violence on Saturday, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) gave his state's National Guard "stand-by" orders. McAuliffe later declared a state of emergency for the Charlottesville area on Saturday.
