A hit-and-run driver caused a chain-reaction crash on southbound Interstate 5 near SeaTac early Sunday that killed a 72-year-old woman and closed the highway for more than four hours as investigators searched for the fleeing motorist.
The collision happened at 3:15 a.m. on southbound I-5 at 200th Street when a driver struck another vehicle and fled the scene, according to the Washington State Patrol. The impact disabled the victim’s car, leaving it perpendicular across lane 5. A third driver then struck the disabled vehicle, killing the 72-year-old woman at the scene.
