Seattle Police say one car is likely responsible for running two hit-and-runs over two people who thought they were safe on the sidewalk.
The hit-and-runs happened within an hour of each other. Both cars are described as a sedan. In one instance, the victim described the color of the car as "blue," the other victim described the car as "dark-colored."The first crash happened in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood, near Dexter Ave N and Harrison St, around 2:50 a.m. on Saturday.
FOX 13 News spoke to people who work where the second incident happened. They said the victim’s name is Chris. They say he has slept on the sidewalk in the neighborhood for years. "It’s disgusting. It’s just gross. We should take care of each other," said Johnny Beuscher, who works near where the second incident happened.These hit and runs come just a few months after police say two teens recorded themselves intentionally mowing down pedestrians in their car.
