State Patrol seeks tips on hit-and-run collision on Highway 16

The Washington State Patrol is asking for help in locating a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run collision that occurred on Highway 16 in Gig Harbor on Aug. 12.

The incident occurred at 6:45 a.m. that morning on eastbound Highway 16 near Wollochet Drive. During what WSP described as a “road rage incident,” an unknown hatchback-style vehicle forced a silver Honda Fit off the highway.

The Fit rolled over, causing “major injuries” to the victim. An ambulance took the victim to a hospital in serious condition.

The hatchback fled the scene.

The patrol hopes to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have photographs or video footage from the collision or events leading to it. Contact Detective Kevin Pratt at [email protected] or (253) 310-1826 if you have information.
