After two ladies died on a highway during the Just Stop Oil rally on Dartford Bridge, eco-protesters were accused of having “blood on their hands.”
Four hours after the protest began, a woman trapped on the M20 and another woman who stopped to help her were struck by a car while standing on the hard shoulder.
Mark Heap, a van driver who had also stopped to assist, was injured in the back and the leg.
Mr. Heap, 54, stated from his hospital bed, “They may not have wanted to harm anyone, but they have blood on their hands now.”
Marcus Decker was charged with conspiracy to commit a public nuisance.
He and Morgan Trowland (pictured) are accused of causing two days of traffic mayhem by mounting one of the nation’s busiest bridges.
Mark Heap, a van driver who also attempted to assist, sustained broken back bones and a fractured leg.
Without the protest, emergency personnel may have been able to save the women in time, he told The Sun.
Lisa Webber, a mother in her 50s and one of the victims, has been identified.
Her father, Clive Kraus, thanked a bunch of tree surgeons on Twitter for providing “first aid and CPR.”
The other victim is a general practitioner in her forties. The Sun stated that she was forced to abandon her vehicle following a “small incident.”
Two protestors dangled themselves from Dartford Bridge for two days, preventing motorists from using the M20 to avoid traffic jams.
The accident, which apparently occurred because a BMW X5 crossed three lanes on the M20, occurred at 8:20 a.m. on Monday.

Police and fire departments were also dispatched.
Former Met police chief inspector Mick Neville stated to The Sun, “They may not have caused the M20 accident directly.” But had their foolish demonstration not occurred, it is likely that the women and van driver would not have been present.’
Just Stop Oil was reached out to for comment.
