An 18 year old female was struck by a car at Delridge Way SW and SW Orchard Street SW on Friday Jan. 16. She went to the hospital with a possible fractured leg.
An 18 year old woman was crossing Delridge Way SW westbound on Orchard Street SW around 3:30pm on Jan 16 as a late 90's BMW driven by a middle aged man attempted to turn left on Delridge Way. The sun, at a low angle may have made it difficult to see her but he clipped the back of her leg, possibly fracturing it.
Photojournalist David Rosen coincidentally was there across the street with his fiance Kendra McLeod and rather than take photos he came to the aid of the victim, comforting her as McLeod called 911.
Seattle police and AMR ambulance arrived in minutes as the victim was kept calm. The driver pulled over into the adjacent gas station immediately and was being questioned by police as the victim was prepped and taken the hospital. She was in stable condition with a possible leg fracture.
