Deputies looking for car, driver after pedestrian hurt in hit-and-run crash near Lacey
The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to help identify a car and driver suspected of hitting a male pedestrian in a hit-and-run crash near Lacey early Saturday morning.
The 31-year-old man, who was critically injured, was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia.
About 3:30 a.m. Saturday, a black sedan was headed east on Martin Way at Duterrow Road Southeast. Meanwhile, the pedestrian was crossing Martin Way at a crosswalk, deputies say, citing witness information.
Those witnesses told deputies the car ran a red light and struck the man. They also said the car accelerated prior to entering the intersection at Duterrow Road and was traveling at an estimated speed of 50-60 miles per hour. It then continued east on Martin Way without stopping, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Anyone with information about the black sedan, which may have front-end damage, or the driver, is asked to call South Sound Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or send an email to detectives@co.thurston.wa.us.
