LYNNWOOD – A car struck a man trying to cross 196th Street SW on Thursday morning, police said.
The man was not in a crosswalk, Lynnwood officer Pat Connelly said. The man, who appeared to be in his 20s, was trying to get across the busy road in the 6500 block of 196th Street SW about 5:20 a.m.
The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was in serious condition Thursday afternoon.
Thief who allegedly highjacked car caught
Police stopped a man who told them he had carjacked a woman with a BB gun so he could clear up a warrant for his arrest.
Sgt. Paul Hickok spotted the man Monday on Highway 99 and 196th Street SW. The officer, thinking the driver might be drunk, stopped the car.
The driver admitted he stole the car from a woman in Bellingham, and there was a BB gun under the driver’s seat, Cmdr. Paul Watkins said Thursday.
The man, 19, later told Hickok he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Wisconsin. He said he went to clear up the warrant but was told nothing could be done about it unless he committed a crime.
He was turned over to detectives in Bellingham.
