Tacoma – A man was left with serious injuries when he was the victim of a Hit and Run collision. WSP detectives are seeking the public’s assistance identifying the vehicle and driver.
On Tuesday, April 26, 2021, at approximately 11:39 PM, a vehicle struck a cable barrier on westbound State Route 512 at Vickery Rd near mile marker 4 in Pierce County. The driver exited the vehicle through the front door on the passenger side, stepping into the left lane. A second vehicle struck the driver, who was forcefully pushed onto the left shoulder. The vehicle failed to stop at the scene and continued westbound on State Route 512, leaving the victim behind with serious injuries.
While unable to determine the color, vehicle debris found at the scene lead investigators to believe that the running vehicle could be an older model Ford 250 or 350 pick-up truck or an older model Ford Transit van. It is likely that damage can be observed on the vehicle’s left front and that the left blinker/headlight cover is broken.
WSP Detectives request assistance to locate the suspect vehicle. Anyone with additional information is asked to call Det. Kevin Pratt at (253) 538-3173 or the WSP tip line at (509) 249-6700.
