UPDATE: Driver hits building, flees with passengers

11:41 PM: Police are investigating another crash, this one in south Admiral. A driver is reported to have hit a building at California and Manning, and then fled the scene with at least two passengers. All were described as teenagers, one white in white clothing, another white in dark clothing, another white or Hispanic in dark clothing. A second SFD crew has been dispatched to the scene to help deal with what’s described as damage including two broken windows.

1 AM: By the time we got to the scene, the car was being towed. We did note that the address on the SFD log was not where it happened, as is sometimes the case (and that’s why we don’t usually cite exact logged addresses) – this was at the commercial building on the northeast corner of California/Manning.

    I’m gonna keep stories like this in mind as we move to ban certain e-bikes and speed limit them…

      I was there and can pick two of the people out in a line up. Six kids fled, grabbing stuff from the car with them. Police did not seem interested in talking to me.

    Looks like a Tesla?

    Wondering if the vehicle turns up as stolen.

      That info was not available last night so I hope to be able to inquire with SPD tomorrow.

    Hi everyone, I am the owner of the clinic that the car crashed into.  Turning Point Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. I have just returned from a trip to eastern Washington where I didn’t have internet access (but plenty of smoke). Not the best news to return to!  If anyone has any information I should know please contact me at 206-261-6114 or heylaurag@hotmail.com. Thank you!
