Crash near Westwood Village turns deadly

| West Seattle news | Westwood

Just got word that the woman hit by a car near Westwood Village last Friday night has died. (We reported briefly on the crash in this post, with updated info in the comments – police believe it was truly an accident, someone in dark clothes crossing outside a crosswalk on a dark, rainy night; the driver apparently never saw her.) We don’t have her name at this point, though. By our accounts, this is the first fatal pedestrian accident in West Seattle since 85-year-old Oswald Clement was hit and killed at 35th/Othello last October.

How truly sad for the families of everyone involved.

That is exceptionally sad. Sending out prayers and healing wishes to the family of the pedestrian as well as the person who was driving the car.

That stretch of road is horrendous when it’s raining. It’s very difficult to see pedestrians even in reflective gear. In dark clothing, it’s nearly impossible.

I saw that accident from the pizza place (whose name I cannot remember.) I feel bad for the family of the woman who was hit, but also the person who hit her. What a terrible thing.

PLEASE HELP! My mother was the pedestrian that was hit at Westwood Village and has died as a result of this accident. If you were a witness, please email me (accident2808@yahoo.com). My family is left with many questions regarding this tragedy.

Sorry, comment time is over.
