Memo to self - when running from the cops
Don't jump out onto the freeway. From
Seattle's KING5:
Fleeing suspect hit by car on I-5
A suspect trying to get away from police was hit by a car after running onto Interstate 5 in downtown Seattle.
Seattle Police say officers viewed what they called a suspicious person. That suspect ran off. The foot pursuit ended a short time later.
The next thing police heard was that the suspect was on the freeway and was hit by a car in the northbound lanes near the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.
That section of I5 is downright stupidly designed for northbound traffic as it takes four lanes, funnels it into one and then back out to two with a lot of ramps coming and going. Drivers are too busy watching out for other cars to see something unexpected like a running person trying to cross lanes.
