A 27-year-old woman is in critical condition after she fell from a freeway overpass and was struck by a truck this afternoon, according to the State Patrol.
The woman fell from the NE 124th Street overpass on I-405 about 1:16 p.m. and landed in the lanes below. A semi-truck swerved but was unable to avoid striking the woman. The driver stopped briefly, then left without contacting anyone, the State Patrol said.
The woman remains in critical condition at Harborview Medical Center.
The State Patrol has asked anyone who witnessed the woman falling, or the hit-and-run accident, to contact Det. Russ Haake at 425-401-7717.
