Washington State Patrol are looking for witnesses to a hit-and-run, two-car injury collision at about 11:30 p.m. Monday, April 8 along northbound Interstate 5 in Kent, just south of State Route 516.<\/p>\n
A 911 call reported the crash and said one of the vehicles had rolled over onto its top in the median and the driver was still inside, according to an April 9 State Patrol news release.<\/p>\n
Once troopers arrived, they were advised by a Seattle Police officer on scene that the suspected driver of the causing vehicle fled on foot. Additional troopers responding checked the area but were unable to locate the suspect driver.<\/p>\n
The suspect vehicle was a silver 2023 Nissan Sentra, and the victim vehicle was a black 2006 Ford Escape. The Nissan was reportedly traveling at a high speed on northbound I-5 when it struck the Ford causing it to go into the median and roll.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Ford was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the State Patrol.<\/p>\n
It was discovered through further investigation that the suspect vehicle was stolen out of Tukwila.<\/p>\n
State Patrol detectives are seeking any additional witnesses to include dashcam video prior to or during the collision. Contact Detective Russ Haake at Russ.Haake@wsp.wa.gov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
