A truly heartbreaking story to report Tuesday morning. The Washington State Patrol says a man was hit and killed by a semi-truck on southbound I-405 in Bothell, Washington. While FOX 13 was on scene reporting the incident, a man watching the news recognized his son's car in the six-car pile up. He drove to the scene to see if his son was okay. Unfortunately, his son was the man who was killed. We at FOX 13 Seattle would like to take a moment to share our deepest sympathies with family members and friends of the victim.
