Here’s what happened in the second ‘rescue extrication’ the night of deadly Capitol Hill crash



A man run over in a second car vs. pedestrian incident within minutes and a dozen or so blocks of Monday night’s deadly crash on Capitol Hill was fortunate to survive, CHS has learned.

Monday, as Seattle Fire’s rescue extrication crew wrapped up their work at the tragic scene where 27-year-old Lilliana Moreno was run over and killed by a driver while crossing E Pine, another rescue incident was reported underway in a parking lot off Broadway near E Fir.

SFD and Seattle Police rushed to the scene of the second incident just after 8:30 PM where two people reported they had run over and pinned a man as they were backing out of a parking spot.

According to police, the driver said she and a friend pulled into the lot and parked for an hour, chatting and hanging out:

They said the vehicle was off and that there was no music playing. After about an hour XXXX started backing out of the parking spot to leave and felt her tire go over a bump. She told XXXX to get out and check what it was, and XXXX came back screaming that there was a pedestrian and he was not conscious.

The two female occupants of the vehicle called 911.

According to SPD, Seattle Fire reported they found the victim “pinned under the weight of the vehicle” and “had to lift the vehicle to extract him.” SFD also said the man was found “perpendicular to the vehicle with his head facing east and his legs and body under the car.”

Drug paraphernalia was also found on the ground around the victim and the man was given Narcan for a possible overdose, SPD reported.

The victim was transported to Harborview for treatment. According to SPD, Harborview staff could not find “any signs that his torso or any other portions of his body had been run over by a tire” but reported the victim’s left hand had been crushed by the vehicle.

Police say the man later told them he had taken cocaine and meth before the incident.

SPD photographed the man’s injuries for evidence and looked for security cameras in the area of the parking lot but found none.

There were no reported arrests.
