Pedestrian killed by suspected DUI driver in Marysville
Posted by John de Leon
A 34-year-old Marysville man was arrested early this morning on suspicion of vehicular homicide after he struck a man walking along Smokey Point Boulevard, according to a Marysville police news release.
The victim, a 26-year-old Arlington man, was struck just after 2 a.m. while he was walking in the 10400 block of Smokey Point Boulevard. When police arrived at the scene they found citizens administering CPR to the victim. Marysville Fire District medics later pronounced him dead at the scene.
At the same time, a State Patrol trooper had stopped a car that had been speeding in the area. When the trooper approached the driver, the driver asked, "What did I hit?" The trooper contacted Marysville police officers, who took the man into custody.
The driver had a blood-alcohol level of .177, more than twice the legal limit of .08.
