Hit-and-run accidents are some of the worst kinds of crimes because the driver generally doesn’t even have the courtesy of calling 911, but instead only thinks selfishly as their victim bleeds, and often dies, alone on the side of a road. That may have been what happened early Sunday morning.
Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies were called to the 1100 block of 128th Street SW, near E. Gibson Road, about 12:30 am where they found the man on the side of the road, dead.
A witness told detectives he saw a dark-colored pickup truck leaving the scene.
The witness’s description matched the description of a vehicle involved in another hit-and-run that was reported earlier on Saturday evening outside a tavern at 148th Street SW and Highway 99 near Lynnwood. Nobody was hurt in that incident.
Police found the pickup’s owner, but he told them the truck had been stolen. Detectives believe the owner was not involved in either incidents.
Investigators are going to look at footage from traffic cameras at an intersection near the scene of the fatal hit-and-run. Police say they are looking for a dark-blue 2005 Ford Ranger with a Washington license plate B35457F. If you see that truck, call 911.
If you have any information regarding the fatal hit-and-run accident to call 911 or the sheriff’s tip line at 425-388-3845.
The man’s identity has not been released pending notification of his family. Our condolences go out to him.
The individual who caused this accident, is facing an extended stay in prison because they were committing a crime when the death occurred. We sincerely hope that the criminal is caught and swiftly brought to justice.
