King County: At approximately 11:45pm on February 27, 2020, Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call reporting that a pedestrian was struck eastbound SR 18 to eastbound I90.
Troopers arrived along with the fire department to find a male subject on the ground and unresponsive. The fire department transported the individual to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition with life-threatening injuries. The victim has yet to be identified.
According to witnesses, a Subaru station wagon was disabled in the gore point eastbound SR 18 to eastbound I-90 when the driver of this vehicle possibly stepped into the lane of travel to flag down traffic. It was at this point that a small white sedan struck the individual and continued onto eastbound I-90 without stopping. The only description the witness could give was the color and that it was a smaller vehicle. The vehicle will have sustained unknown front end damage.
WSP detectives are seeking any information about this tragic incident to include information about the vehicle that fled the scene and the driver. Please contact Detective Vik Mauro at (425) 401-7746 or by email at Victoria.Mauro@wsp.wa.gov.
