Seattle authorities are currently investigating a vehicle collision that resulted in a pedestrian being struck late Saturday night, according to a report by the Seattle Police Department. The incident occurred near the intersection of North 105th Street and Aurora Avenue North, where police found an injured man lying unconscious on the road.
The response by patrol officers was prompted by a 10:12 p.m. call, as they rushed to the scene to provide immediate medical aid to the victim before the arrival of the Seattle Fire Department (SFD). Despite the quick response, the man was transported to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition. The police provided aid upon their arrival, and no arrests have been made in the immediate aftermath of the accident.
Investigators have accessed video footage of the harrowing inciden,t which captured the pedestrian walking into the busy thoroughfare, narrowly avoiding several vehicles before being hit. After the collision, the footage showed the pedestrian being thrown into the air by the impact. The details gleaned from the video are expected to play a crucial role in the ongoing investigation.
The driver involved in the collision remained at the scene and cooperated fully with law enforcement. During their preliminary assessment, officers detected no signs of impairment from the driver, a factor that has likely influenced the decision not to arrest him at the time. The Traffic Collision Investigation Squad has taken over the follow-up investigation to determine the full context of the events that led to the collision.
