The Washington State Patrol is actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying the individual behind the wheel in a serious injury hit-and-run case. The incident took place on State Route 101 near Delphi Road on July 17, 2024, around 9:30 p.m., according to authorities. A female pedestrian, who had been using the appropriate right shoulder for walking, was struck by an SUV that remains unidentified; she suffered considerable damage to her left leg and ankle, as detailed by the Washington State Patrol.
The aftermath of this collision necessitated her immediate transfer to a nearby hospital, as she grappled with the severe nature of her injuries. The authorities are hoping that witnesses will emerge - perhaps possessing photographs or video evidence that precedes or captures the incident itself. Detective Kevin Pratt, the assigned investigator for the case, has made a direct appeal for anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver to make contact.
In a statement released by the Washington State Patrol, members of the public with potential leads are instructed to reach out via email to [email protected] or through a call to Detective Pratt at (253) 310-1826.
