Updated on: 11/11/2019

A 17-year-old girl was killed after being struck by several vehicles, including a semi-truck, which continued driving on afterwards. The Washington State Patrol received reports at approximately 1 a.m. Saturday morning of a pedestrian standing alone on the side of the southbound Interstate 5 overpass at Northeast 145th.

By the time the troopers arrived on the scene, the girl had been struck by several different vehicles. None of the vehicles stopped or reported the incident, and officials are looking for any witnesses or people involved in the incident to come forward. Anyone with information about the incident should contact Detective Mederios of the Washington State Patrol at 425-401-7719.
