A 37-year-old man was arrested and three people were injured in a two-vehicle accident late Wednesday night in Kent following a brief police pursuit.<\/p>\n
At about 10:47 p.m., a Kent Police officer attempted to pull over a Nissan SUV, but the driver failed to stop, instead leading the officer on brief pursuit, Kent Police Department spokeswoman Melanie Robinson said in an email.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Nissan headed westbound on West James Street and ran a red light at the intersection of 64th Avenue South, hitting a Ford Focus traveling southbound on 64th Avenue, Robinson said.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Nissan fled on foot, but was arrested a short time later on several charges, including hit and run, vehicular assault and eluding police, according to Robinson.<\/p>\n
Passengers in the Nissan – a 43-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man – as well as a 46-year-old man who was driving the Ford Focus were seriously injured and transported to Haborview Medical Center in Seattle.<\/p>\n
Robinson did not know the extent of their injuries or their conditions on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
