A semi-truck barreled into line of George Floyd protesters marching on a closed interstate near downtown Minneapolis on Sunday night. 

Video captured the massive rig speeding down the I-35W bridge at about 6pm local time as hundreds of protesters taking up all lanes of traffic fled out of its path. 

It’s unclear whether the truck struck anyone before it came to a stop. 

Protesters were seen approaching the driver’s door and pulling him onto the roadway before police arrived to control the scene.  

The driver was reportedly placed under arrest and taken to the hospital.
