EVERETT – Detectives with the Traffic Safety Unit are investigating a hit and run collision that killed a female in Everett.
Just after 8:00 pm on September 8th, officers were dispatched to the 9700 block of 19th Ave SE on the report of hit and run collision. Responding officers found an adult female had been struck and killed by a vehicle that did not remain at the scene.
