Police are searching for a man who witnesses say triggered an accident on Fremont Ave. and N 39th. St. Two pedestrians were among the injured.
The driver of the car, which turns out was stolen, ran from the scene bleeding profusely from the face. Police are still searching for the man. FremontUniverse.com has the story.

man, its amazing what some drivers will do.
its pretty simple to not run lights, recklessly speed (i don't mean the usual 5 or so over that many people are guilty of), and have some basic decency for those around you.
my sympathies for the pedestrians likely just minding their own business. such a nice day for a walk too.
“its amazing what some drivers will do.”
No, it's amazing what some criminal thugs will do. You know, the same ones Seattleites love to hug, give light sentences too so they can go home and terrorize society some more.
Low and be hold, the car was stolen, by a member of Seattle's underprivileged, downtrodden, thieving, druggie trash so loved and mollycoddled by the loony left in this town.
No doubt the fault of greedy rich people leaving our cars out on the streets to tempt them.
yes clearly the fault of liberal progressives. In a conservative town like, say, Houston, cars are never stolen. In Houston they leave the windows down, keys in the ignition, and teenage daughters naked in the back seat w/o a problem.
Yeah, he stole a car, but this accident happened because he ran a red light. I've seen many a 'greedy rich people' doing that.
The stolen car only adds the run part to hit and run.
You're talking about the Houston that just elected a lesbian mayor right?
“but this accident happened because he ran a red light.”
No, this accident happened because he's a reckless, criminal thug.
No I'm talking about the Houston that is the most Republican big city in the USA.
And every one knows gays can't steal, so I'm sure it wasn't her.
We saw a similar accident near Trader Joes last week and the drivers appeared to be average citizens that made a mistake. Both drivers looked to be caucasians with insurance coverage.
take a deep breath there lil doggie.
Did the person who caused the accident near TJs take off on foot and disappear? Were they driving a stolen car?
I haven't seen a story that confirms the car was stolen.
If not, it should be pretty easy to track down the driver from the car registration, no?
So, did your TJ drivers run away on foot?
Caucasians with insurance? They sound like hard working, responsible tax payers. They need to be taxed some more to help ease the suffering of the underprivileged.
*Yawn* Broken record.
name? i could think of a few.

Exactly what do you mean here by saying that the drivers who “appeared to be average citizens that [sic] made a mistake” “looked to be caucasians with insurance coverage”? Does that meant that average citizens are white? That people who have collisions that are apparently forgivable “mistakes” are white and have insurance or at least “look” like they do? Your two sentences are fraught with stereotypes that are based on some not-so-benign racism. I wish that sites that provide “news” weren't interactive because, frankly, I don't see reading beliefs like yours as necessary to any news reporting that might be valuable to the community.
know the family the car was stolen from. car was stolen while the owner was at work.
Thanks for the link, which proves out the gut feeling that the accident was caused by a theif in a stolen car, which explains the flight of the theif.
This is the main reason buses should be free to ride, even for those who need a ride directly to jail, at least they'll leave our cars and bikes alone.
In addition, I'll take this opportunity to note for all of you that while crime statistics across the nation have fallen sharply (what? In this economy?) The NW has seen yet another increase.
It doesn't surprise me, as it was mentioned above, this area cuddles these SOB's as a rule.
Get a clue folks, pay attention to the judges who are allowing it.
STFU
Gee, what a surprise!
Another surprise: the apologists for the scumbags are suddenly not commenting.
I thought it was conservatives who want to lock all the thugs up but refuse to raise their taxes to pay for it that resulted in short sentences? Learn something new every day!
Ban the pony tails! The state has released thousands of prisoners, is closing facilities and laying off hundreds of correctional staff. Next year could be a wild one for criminal activity.
Wow, I guess someone got X-ray glasses for Christmas.
Taxes are fine, it's all the money wasted on bums and stupid social programs whose only purpose is to help employ socialogists.
Apparently just commenting on peoples race makes you a racist. Of course, northside guilty white liberals moved to Ballard for all the diversity so are in a good position to lecture.
Not to mention the money wasted on the intrenched, liberally stenched unions in this state. Nothing happens in Olympia or King County without the unions nod. No politician has a prayer without the unions support. AKA, Red-Carpet Liberals Forever.
It had better change, and soon.
God Bless America.
