Witnesses have described the terrifying moment a car accelerated towards and plowed into a crowd of people protesting at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville Saturday, killing one.

Screams rang out as the Dodge Charger careened into anti-fascist demonstrators, throwing bodies into the air, before reversing at high speed.

Witness Nic McCarthy told C-VILLE Weekly: 'There was someone in a dark vehicle that sped, very quickly, down this road and rammed into the crowd.

'People... He backed up and he went back in again.'
