UPDATE: Admiral Way hit-run crash

9:32 PM: Thanks to those who’ve sent photos of this crash at Admiral Way/57th SW this past hour. No major injuries reported. But police are looking for the driver of the Honda Fit, who reportedly walked away from the scene, which is what makes it a hit-run. Police told dispatch the car is registered to someone who lives nearby. They also reported that a gun was found/seen inside. The car will be impounded. An SDOT crew is being summoned to clean up a fluid spill.

10:16 PM: Police just told dispatch that Admiral Way has fully reopened. We’re checking with SFD re: injuries.

Hopefully somebody got a good description of the driver that walked away from the scene. Double-double yellow line there means treat it as a barrier– do not cross! It’s there for a reason! What were they thinking?

They weren’t thinking. Wandering away means they were impaired and figure if they are not in the car they can’t be charged.

If you know that part of Admiral, it curves as you head up the hill (east). It looks like the person didn’t navigate that curve and went straight into the other lane and hit that nice car. Guessing on the phone or impaired maybe both.

My husband is the one who was hit and the fire department arrived before the police and got all the guy’s info and verified he owned the car but decided to run off before SPD arrived. The firefighters thought he was probably drunk which is why he ran.

WSB. follow up question. Will the found gun be confiscated? If it’s the registered car owners will that add to any possible tickets/charges?

No idea. Depends on a variety of things. All I can tell you is that officers gave the serial # to dispatch to check, and the gun had no record of having ever been stolen.
