WSP seeking witnesses to serious injury hit-and-run collision

September 22, 2023

Bothell, Wash – The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is actively investigating a serious injury hit-and-run collision that occurred at 6:28 a.m. on Sept. 8, 2023, on southbound Interstate 5 near milepost 26 near state Route 527.

A white Ford F150 pick-up truck was traveling southbound on Interstate 405 in the center lane. A 1999 Ducati motorcycle traveling the same direction in the toll lane. The driver of the Ford attempted to change lanes from the center lane to the toll lane and struck the motorcycle. This caused the motorcycle rider to strike the guardrail on the left shoulder, fall to the ground and slide across the roadway.

The driver of the Ford pulled to the right shoulder, picked up the motorcycle, and fled the scene continuing southbound. The 32 year-old rider of the Ducati was seriously injured and transported to Harborview.
The Ford will have damage on driver’s side near the door. WSP detectives are requesting help in locating the fleeing vehicle and driver.

The WSP is asking witnesses of the collision or anyone with information on the fleeing vehicle to call Detective Kyle Jacobsen at (360) 529-7367. Your assistance is appreciated as we work to locate the suspect and suspect vehicle.
