Kent Police are still looking for a hit-and-run driver involved in a crash that killed a 44-year-old Kent woman on Saturday night in the 25200 block of Pacific Highway <\/a>South<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The suspect is still unknown,” said police spokesman Jarod Kasner in a Monday email. “We did learn that the suspect vehicle was a reported stolen vehicle out of Seattle.”<\/p>\n

Leimoi Clark died from multiple blunt force injuries, according to a King County Medical Examiner’s Office report on Monday.<\/p>\n

A driver in the suspect vehicle was traveling southbound on the highway at about 8 p.m. when it ran a red light and struck another vehicle near the West Hill Fred Meyer store. The driver then fled on foot, police reported.<\/p>\n

Clark, a passenger in the vehicle struck by the hit-and-run driver, died as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash, police reported, and two other occupants of the vehicle were stabilized by medical personnel and transported to a local hospital for treatment. Kasner didn’t have an update on Monday about the conditions of the two taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The southbound lanes were closed and traffic was diverted as investigators began to work the scene. <\/p>\n

“Our traffic investigators are working through the information and the evidence that was collected,” Kasner said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
