Man who drove through Cedar Rapids protestors argues he had right of way as trial begins
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KWWL) -- The trial is underway for David Huston, a Swisher man who is accused of driving his truck through protestors in Cedar Rapids in June 2022.
Most of the incident was captured on video from multiple angles. Rather than argue that he didn't do it, Huston's defense is arguing that he had the right to drive through the protestors because his traffic light was green.
In the videos shown in court, many of which haven't been seen before, Huston's truck appears to approach a car at the light. When the light turned green, the truck is seen swerving around the car and comes up to the protestors who are crossing, before stopping when it collided with a pedestrian.
It's truly amazing what motorists think they can get away with.
