Skagit County – On Thursday July 30, 2020, at approximately 5:00p.m., Washington State Patrol (WSP)
Troopers responded to an injury collision which occurred northbound Interstate 5 (I-5) near milepost 224 in
Skagit County. The vehicle that caused the collision fled the scene and continued driving northbound. The
victim vehicle, a maroon Jeep Wrangler, rolled and the driver sustained serious head injuries.
The fleeing vehicle was described as a 2010 or newer red/maroon Honda Civic V-Tech 4 door sedan with
a spoiler and tinted windows. The driver of the Honda was described as being a heavy set Hispanic male,
approximately mid-30’s to early 40’s in age, with a shaved head and close cropped beard. The Honda did
not have a license plate and was described as having a temporary registration in the rear window. Based
on the evidence collected at the scene, it is believed that the Honda sustained damage to the left front side.
Washington State Patrol Troopers are seeking any witnesses that may have information pertaining to this
collision. We also had several 9-1-1 calls just prior to the crash reporting the Honda driving erratically. If you
know about this collision or know someone who does, you are asked to email or call Trooper Jennifer Wilcox
at jennifer.wilcox@wsp.wa.gov or (425)923-7274.
