A passerby in the area discovered the injured pedestrian near the crosswalk and alerted authorities.

The victim suffered significant injuries, including fractures to a leg and several lacerations.

Renton police learned the woman was traveling across the crosswalk when she was struck by a blue-colored, smaller SUV of a newer model. The suspect vehicle was last seen fleeing south on Benson Drive and making a right onto South 16th Street.
