I recently found out one of my friends Lucie Flynn was run over by a driver who broke through the crowd at the protests in Oakland on May 30th. She is currently in critical condition and may never walk again.

We were actually live streaming that night for Whisky Tango Media and I'm currently going through hours of footage looking for the vehicle since we were pretty close at the time of the attack. I will also be canvasing businesses in the area to try and obtain CCTV footage to try and get a number plate. The Oakland Police Department have been less than cooperative and don't seem to want to spend any resources on the case so I guess I'm getting a promotion from independent field reporter to investigative journalist. Here is what little footage and images we have so far.

Luckily the Goons in AI were able to quickly identify the make and model of the vehicle.

If you're not watching the thread anymore, as others said, definitely 98-02 Accord, but I can narrow it a bit more.

It's a 98-02 EX V6 Accord. The muffler on the driver's side gives it away as a V6 model. The wheels are EX wheels, but they've either been painted, or "plastidipped" (guessing dipped, since there's a big chunk missing on that left rear wheel). Those are stock wheels for that generation.

It's possible they swapped over EX wheels onto a V6 LX (98-02 was the first generation where you could get a V6 without the top of the line EX trim), but it's most likely an EX or EX-L.

It also has sagging rear suspension, unless they had a lot of weight in the back.

Hope that helps.

I was given Mod permission to do a donation thread so here is a GoFundMe for our friend Lucie. She's looking at massive amounts of medical bills and months of rehabilitation. https://www.gofundme.com/f/lucie-flynn?utm_source=customer-andr&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=email

Thank you for all the support you've shown so far. For those that don't have plat and may have useful information you can email us at whiskytangomedia@gmail.com . Hopefully we can bring this POS to justice.

Anyone feel free to post a gang tag idea, Sid Viscous and I will also be working on one and are up for suggestions.

One important point, if you have 3 gang tags and an avatar already please choose one to replace when posting your donation.

Thank you guys so much this is amazing. I burnt some shoe leather in Oakland today and identified four CCTV cameras that may have footage. So far I've been able to get contact info for the owners of two of them and shot them emails. The building with the other two has no posted address and seems abandoned. Both people I spoke with were familiar with the incident and said that I was the first to request the footage and were wondering why the cops had'd been around yet. Hopefully they haven't deleted the footage already.

I drive a 1998 Accord EX V6 and can confirm that is beyond doubt what that car is because the v6 that generation had 5-lug hubs and the 4 cylinder trims had 4-lug hubs. The wheels cannot be swapped.

E: There was a V6 LX? mind blown

Once again thank you guys so much. Quick update, I've been in contact with Lucie's parents all day exchanging information. They say that the OPD recovered the footage from the corner building with two cameras and are reviewing it. They have not yet said if they were able to find a plate nor have they released the footage publicly. I've offered my services as an independent investigator and they've happily accepted and thanked me very much for the information I've been able to provide so far. They also wanted me to extend a big thanks to all of you who have donated and provided information.
