At 11:33 a.m. on Dec. 27, a silver, 2004 SUV, driven by a 20-year-old male was traveling southbound on Fremont Avenue North. At the same time, a red, 1988 Chevy Nova, (which was an unreported stolen vehicle), driven by a male of unknown age, was traveling westbound on North 39th Street.

The two vehicles collided in the intersection. The Land Cruiser veered to the right and struck a steel light pole on the southwest corner. The Chevy Nova slid sideways and struck the curb coming to a stop near the Land Cruiser.

A 42-year-old female and a 44-year-old male pedestrian were walking on the sidewalk on the southwest corner. Both were struck with debris from the two vehicles colliding.

The female pedestrian was apparently struck in the back of the head by the spare tire, which was ejected from the trunk of the Chevy Nova during the collision.

The male driver of the Nova exited the vehicle bleeding profusely from the head and face and fled on foot immediately after the collision. He is still at large. The passenger of the Nova also had head and facial injuries remained at the scene.

The Seattle Fire Department responded to the scene and transported all five individuals to Harborview Medical Center.

The 42-year-old female pedestrian’s medical condition was serious but stable. The passenger of the Nova had a broken jaw and lacerations to the forehead. The occupants of the Land Cruiser and the male pedestrian did not have any significant injuries.

Traffic Collision Investigagors responded and processed the scene.
