Troopers with the Washington State Patrol are hoping to find the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Tukwila. The car involved was a black Lexus SUV.

Timeline:

Around 11:50 p.m. on Oct. 24, WSP received reports of a crash on State Route 599 North near Interurban Avenue. One of the people involved died at the scene.

When troopers arrived, they discovered a rollover crash that caused two occupants of one vehicle to be ejected. A third occupant remained inside the car throughout the crash.

The ejected victim that died at the scene had landed in one of the lanes of SR-599. They were hit by a swerving older-model Lexus SUV like the one pictured below. Now, law enforcement hopes someone knows the whereabouts of the car and/or driver.
