Hit and run this morning to my car while heading Eastbound on West Seattle bridge right around 7:35am. I was in a white Kia Rio in the left lane near 1st ave exit, a white Honda Accord with Kansas plates hit my passenger rear quarter panel as they tried to pull around me. They took off down the 4th Ave S exit and wouldn’t stop. I followed for a while to report the license plate and vehicle description to police. Incident # 2017- 424576 if anyone was a witness. No injuries, and fortunately no major damage.
