Not sure how the car touching Heyer is relevant. If the guy hit something else which then hit Heyer, his actions caused her death the same as if he had hit her himself.

Even if its something like, causing me to jump out of the way and hurt myself in the attempt, you bet your ass you can be held liable.

Nothing struck her and she didn't move and strike anything.

> Nothing struck her

He hit somebody, who was it? https://wina-am.sagacom.com/files/2018/12/WINA-car-in-eviden... (from https://wina.com/news/064460-james-fields-trial-every-pictur...)

The coroner's report is available: https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/richmond.com/co...

in which you might note the cause of death is "blunt force injury to the torso" and the details include "complete transaction of the thoracic artery".
