A hit-and-run accident around dusk Thursday night in Burien's Three Tree Point neighborhood caused a lot of damage to a parked Toyota Corolla and a protective wall outside a house, according to B-townblog.com.

"We were eating dinner and we heard this incredibly loud noise," a woman named Rachel, who lives in the house where the wall was damaged, tells B-townblog. "I was honestly afraid that someone was driving through the wall of our home."

In addition to damaging the parked car and destroying the retaining wall on Southwest 172nd Street, the car vehicle plowed into a mailbox before taking off. Witnesses reportedly took down a license plate number and the police were called. Rachel says it took police two hours to respond.

"I thought our neighbors were putting their garbage out," Terry Haigh, another neighbor, tells the blog. "But then I thought 'man, they've sure got a lot of garbage' because it was really loud."
