MARYSVILLE — A 26-year-old man was hit and killed early this morning by an alleged drunk driver.
An Arlington man was walking in the 10400 block of Smokey Point Boulevard just after 2 a.m. when a driver struck him and left the scene, Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said. When medics arrived, passers by were performing CPR but the man couldn’t be revived.
Meanwhile, a Washington State Patrol trooper stopped a vehicle speeding in the area. The driver asked the trooper what he had hit, and the trooper contacted Marysville police.
Detectives learned that the driver allegedly had a blood alcohol level of .177, Lamoureux said. That’s more than twice the legal limit.
The man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of vehicular homicide.
