Witnesses Needed For A Fatal Hit And Run On I-90

July 9, 2024

King County: At approximately 2:45am on July 6, 2024, Washington State Patrol (WSP) communications received 9-1-1 calls reporting a serious collision WB I-90 near MP 27.

Once troopers arrived, they found a motorcycle rider in lane four who had struck an elk. Further investigation revealed that after the rider struck the elk, they were struck by a white camper van which pulled over briefly and then left the scene. Unfortunately, the rider did not survive. There were several witnesses that stopped to help the rider and described the same sequence of events; however, no one was able to obtain a plate for the white camper van or description of the driver.

WSP detectives are asking that anyone that has information on this tragedy and has yet to interviewed to email Detective Haake at Russ.Haake@wsp.wa.gov.
