Seattle Police are searching for a hit-and-run car thief they say crashed a stolen vehicle into a house, nearly striking a child who was getting ready for school. FOX13
There were so many ways this truck could have hurt someone. The crash happened close by Chief Sealth International High School in, where kids were still arriving for class. Additionally, four other adults were also inside the home. They were too shaken to speak on camera, but allowed FOX 13 News to see the damage inside.
"I was driving down Thistle towards Delridge and when I was driving up, I just saw like a plume of dust and the fence had fallen," said Kelly. Kelly was one of several people who saw the accident as it happened, not realizing that vehicle had been stolen until she saw the driver run from the scene. She actually thought to help him in case he was hurt.
"I saw a guy running up Thistle towards Delridge, and I was driving up Thistle towards Delridge, so I was driving sort of next to him to see if he needed help," said Kelly. "He was a white man, probably six feet tall, he had a hood up over his head, but I could see he had brown beard, he was thin, he was wearing jeans."Back inside the house, it was chaos. The whole frame shook when the truck hit, it took two tow trucks to pull it out of the pile of debris.
