The Washington State Patrol said the crash happened after an incident between the car and a motorcycle.

Traffic stop leads to foot pursuit
A Burien police officer, assigned to a patrol unit, observed a vehicle belonging to a known habitual driver with a suspended license. He also knew the vehicle owner had a misdemeanor warrant. Due to the darkness, he was not able to verify who the driver was, but the male had the same appearance as the owner. When he tried to pull over the vehicle the driver slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the vehicle.
After a short foot pursuit, and an unsuccessful climb up a hill, the officer placed the suspect in handcuffs. The subject admitted that he had a warrant and his license was suspended. As the officer rolled the suspect over he discovered the man was not the registered owner of the vehicle. After searching the suspect he discovered a black-handled knife with a four-inch spring-loaded blade. He was arrested and booked and now faces charges of possession of a dangerous weapon.
