Shortly after 7 p.m. on Monday, July 4, a hit-and-run car accident on Logan Avenue North near the intersection with North 10th Street sent one woman to Valley Medical Center.
The woman was a passenger in the car that was hit. Neither driver was harmed. Details of how the crash occurred are not yet available.
The suspect, an African American man in his 30s, fled the scene after the accident, then stashed his bright-orange polo shirt in a trash can in The Landing.
Renton Police Officer Randy Jensen caught up with the hit-and-run suspect, who was later arrested for negligent driving in the first degree, and for hit-and-run.
Renton Police, Renton Fire and Emergency Services, and The Landing security responded to the accident.

A new road but so narrow and confusing with bicycle lanes to nowhere... Turns are very tight as well. Really bad planning with this one, more accidents to come for sure.

You can thank the city planning department - everybody (North Renton citizens, Boeing) wanted Logan to be four-lanes. Some drone at city hall insisted that it was supposed to be two lanes.
