King County: At approximately 5:15 am on September 30, 2022 Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received a 9-1-1 call reporting there was an injury collision involving a motorcycle. The caller stated that the collision occurred on SR 169 near 214th.
Once troopers arrived they were able to determine that the motorcycle and a white truck were traveling northbound on SR 169 when the motorcycle began to pass the white truck when the truck began to make a U-turn striking the motorcycle causing the rider to go down. The white truck pulled into a parking lot briefly then fled the scene southbound on SR 169.
The fleeing vehicle was described at an older model white Ford pickup carrying pallets and driven by a white male with a thin build with a white female passenger. The truck did not have any visible license plate.
The motorcycle rider suffered a broken hand and ankle and due to the extent of injuries the driver of the truck is being sought for Felony Hit and Run.
WSP detectives are seeking any witnesses or anyone with information on the fleeing truck or driver. Please email Detective Early at Todd.Early@wsp.wa.gov.
