A hit-and-run incident on Capitol Hill has left a bicyclist with serious injuries and Seattle law enforcement on the hunt for the driver. The Seattle Police Department (SPD) disclosed details of the event on Wednesday, near the lively intersection of Broadway and East Pine Street. Responding to the scene at approximately 8:25 p.m., patrol officers, together with the Seattle Fire Department (SFD), discovered a 30-year-old woman suffering from a leg injury on the roadway, according to the SPD Blotter.
With first responders quickly attending to the injured bicyclist, she was dutifully transported to the Harborview Medical Center. Now confirmed by the SFD, the victim is in serious but stable condition following the incident. The sequence of events that unfolded last night implies that the woman, while riding a Lime bike southbound on Broadway, was struck by a vehicle whose driver subsequently fled the scene, leaving the victim without the necessary immediate assistance.
In a concerted effort to apprehend the unknown suspect, the SPD is currently soliciting information from the public. The department is urging anyone with insights into the hit and run, perhaps having witnessed the event or possessing knowledge of the involved vehicle, to reach out. Seattle Police encourage potential witnesses to make contact via the SPD Non-Emergency Line at (206) 625-5011, pledging to investigate all leads in pursuit of delivering justice for the victim.
