KENT, Wash. — The search is on for a driver who struck a man and left him to die.
The victim was trying to cross busy Pacific Highway South near South 240th in Kent late Friday night.
"It's (Highway) 99," Lindi Farrell said. "Of course it's dangerous."
Farrell was walking her dog Friday night when she came upon the accident scene.
"I went around the building and came back," she said. "And then I watched them doing CPR on, I couldn't tell. It seemed like the person had a lot of clothes on."
Kent police said a man in his late 30s was crossing westbound on Pacific Highway South and South 240th when a northbound vehicle struck him and kept going.
A couple of witnesses saw it happen.
Kent police Cmdr.Robert Hollis said they don't have any information about who was driving.
"The only information we were able to get from them was that maybe it was a light or dark-colored Corolla vehicle," Hollis said.
Omar Sanchez has a clear view of the intersection each day.
"I've seen a lot of accidents happening here," he said. "Mostly cars. But I mean, it's a crazy thing. We always have something going on up in here."
Farrell was asked what precautions she takes crossing Pacific Highway.
"Oh, I don't cross that street," she said. "I'll drive it, even if I need to go to the grocery store. I'm scared to walk across there."
The victim was badly hurt in the accident. Early Saturday afternoon, he was in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit at Harborview Medical Center.
Hollis said the vehicle might have damage on the driver's side.
He is asking that anyone with information, including the driver, give them a call.
