One of our readers, Katy, just informed us of another hit and run that’s happened in Queen Anne in the last couple of days. At 10:35 p.m. on Monday, June 20, Katy says she heard a loud noise outside (on 6th Ave N between Highland and Comstock) and immediately peered out her window to find the drivers-side mirror of her car bent backwards.
“I ran outside as quickly as I could and confronted two young men in their early 20s,” she says. They were driving a blue-green four-door car, which matched the damage to her car. “There is blue-green paint on the side of my car and when I was talking with them, they claimed a black car hit me and they needed to drive off to look for it. In the middle of us talking, they drove off quickly.”
Katy did manage to get a license plate number, which she reported to police. (We cannot publish the plate number here since no charges have yet been filed). Still, Katy is hoping that neighbors or passersby may have information that will help her track down the hit and run vehicle.
“They hit my car and my boyfriend’s car and we both have damage. The deductible will cost us $600 out of pocket,” she says, adding that any tips or information will be much appreciated. “I would really love it if we did not have to pay $600 out of pocket for parking on the street and being victim to this.”
Anyone with information on this hit and run is encouraged to contact the police directly and reference report # 11-199098.
