Kent Woman Critically Injured In Multi-Vehicle Hit-And-Run


Posted on Nov 17, 2009

On Tuesday morning at roughly 5 am, a Kent, Washington, woman was struck and seriously injured by a car on Benson Road (State Route 515). A refugee from Bhutan, 22-year-old Namada Timsina was crossing five lanes of sporadic traffic when she was struck by a man who later turned himself in to police. However, Detective Stacy Moate of the Washington State Police believe that Timsina’s injuries point to more than one hit-and-run incident.

Police Trooper Dan McDonald said that the position of the young woman’s purse 200 feet beyond her body and other evidence have led police to suspect that one or more cars may have struck to accident victim after the initial impact. McDonald also added that Highway 515 in Kent is not an unusual place for a serious pedestrian accident, as the five lanes of traffic pose a serious risk to those on foot.

Timsina apparently lived in an apartment building near the lace where she was struck. Friends and family say that she left her apartment early each morning in order to take the bus to Seattle for work.

Reports also indicated that Timsina was new to the country and was probably not as familiar with United States traffic laws or the dangers of motor vehicles in general.

Emergency crews rushed the young pedestrian accident victim to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where she is still in critical condition but stable.

Police are asking anyone with any information regarding the hit-and-run pedestrian accident to contact Det. Stacy Moate immediately at (425) 401-7746.
