READER REPORT: Hit-run victim looking for help

| High Point | West Seattle news

Kim is hoping for help solving this hit-run:

(The) hit-and-run occurred early Saturday the 23rd at Midnight (3300 block of SW Morgan).

I was asleep during the time that this incident occurred, and my neighbor had expressed to me that he heard a loud crash around midnight and saw that a dark gray Prius hit my car (which inherently hit his) and drove off. I’m assuming based on the impact the Prius has a badly dinged up passenger side and their headlight must be smushed in.

My main goal is to locate any kind of camera footage that can help identify the car or license plate for the police report. Any kind of information or video helps!!

If you have any info or video, email us and we’ll connect you.

I don’t have any info on this, but I drove past it at around 8PM last night and thought “wow, that looks fresh.” I don’t think this happened at midnight. I’ll email in case it’s helpful.

To be clear, I mean 8PM on Saturday. If this is referring to 12PM meaning the beginning of Saturday, I’m surprised there was so much debris in situ still.

I drove by it yesterday around 10AM…certainly appeared to be a hit and run from the night before

Seeing this way too often. Never used to see it so commonly 10 -15 years ago. Are a lot of people driving impaired and or distracted these days? I think I just answered my own question 😀

Vehicles are getting wider and the streets aren’t, so there’s less room for error than there used to be.

  Vehicles getting wider? I’m not so sure. But there sure does seem to be more vehicles parked on the streets, from corner to corner.

  Get out of here with that nonsense! Drivers need to pay attention. If the road is too narrow for your car, pick another route.

  A Prius is not remarkably wide.

    Not to mention that Morgan is an arterial, plenty wide even for trucks. Width wouldn’t seem to be a factor here. It’s just a busy street. More total cars, including more drunks and nutballs, increasing the risk for anyone parked there. I have seen damaged parked cars there before.

  Wow, that hit a nerve, lol.
  
  But seriously, read the OP and then Google.

Many streets are not wide enough for cars to park on both sides. Parking should be limited to one side on the non-arterial residential streets.

And if your side of the street is no parking? Betting you’ll be the first to howl unfair!

  I think I will be able to manage the walk across the narrow street.

    But, you won’t have parking as your neighbors across the street will have parked in front of their homes,

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s always so frustrating when you need to pay for a repair that *you* had nothing to do with, but the other person illegally didn’t stop, leave a note, or gave you bad information. And yes, that has happened to me (my car ended up totaled). Boo.
