Pedestrian killed in downtown collision

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Police investigation continues

Last night at approximately 5:05 p.m., two bicycle patrol officers were flagged down by a citizen reporting a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Bellevue Way and Northeast Second Street.

The officers found a 75-year-old Bellevue woman at the scene with life-threatening injuries. Medics transported her to Harborview Medical Center, where she later died.

The driver of the vehicle, a 19-year-old Renton resident, remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor in this case.

Bellevue Way was closed for several hours on Wednesday evening as police investigated. The police investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made at this time.
