Update below – there are two reports of a pedestrian hit last night at the same intersection but with different details. I’d be surprised if there were two accidents at this same intersection last night, but then again, it’d be surprising if so many details were wrong in one version of the story.
A driver hit a pedestrian in West Seattle last night.
A 24-year-old woman was hit by a vehicle Wednesday after 10 p.m. at California Ave. SW and Fauntleroy Way SW and police are searching for the driver.
The woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center with broken bones. Her condition was not immediately available.
Here’s the location on the map:

It looks like there are crosswalks on all sides of the intersection, so we can only speculate as to what happened. Hopefully the victim makes a full recovery. This is a good reminder to be careful when walking (and when driving), even when you have the right of way.
Update: The PI’s Seattle 911 blog reports that a pedestrian was hit by a bus at the same intersection:
A 29-year-old woman was rushed to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries on Wednesday night after being hit by a Metro bus.
Police responded at 9:50 p.m. to the accident at California Avenue Southwest and Fauntleroy Way Southwest.
It’s likely the same incident, but some of the details are different. I’m not sure which one is more correct, but if I had to guess, I’d guess the PI.
