KING COUNTY, WA — King County officials are searching for a hit-and-run suspect after a pedestrian crash Saturday, September 2, in Burien that claimed the life of a 77-year-old woman, reports FOX 13 Seattle.
According to B-Town Blog, the fatal incident occurred near Ambaum Boulevard South and South 174th Street, in the city’s south side. Burien Police and King County Fire District #2 crews were dispatched to the scene at about 2:00 p.m.
While the events leading up to the event remain unclear, authorities said the female pedestrian was struck by 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe which should have sustained damage to its right-passenger side headlight, hood, and fog light in the crash.
