" Around 1 PM, a white Honda travelling south on Beach Drive SW, around the 5300 block, smashed into the front wheel of a parked Jeep SUV, breaking the SUVs front wheel, and the Honda's. The Honda proceeded about 40 feet, up onto the curb and into a residence's driveway, where it came to rest. The lone occupant of the white Honda, a white male in his mid 20's, unable to move the car, immediately left on foot south on Beach Drive with a black backpack. He was wearing a white tank top. He then went east on SW Shore Place, which is a dead end, and probably through the wooded hillside up to 49th Avenue SW. There were several witnesses who described the man."
