Renton police witnessed a vehicle driving erratically near Northeast 3rd and Bronson Way Northeast.<\/p>\n
The incident was reported around 9:40 a.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to a Facebook post Thursday, while officers tried to catch up to the vehicle, they lost sight out it.<\/p>\n
Officers were patrolling a neighborhood when they saw the suspect vehicle had been involved in an accident.<\/p>\n
The post stated the suspect vehicle had reportedly hit a resident backing out of their driveway which in turn caused the suspect’s vehicle to hit a parked car.<\/p>\n
The driver backing out of their driveway was not injured.<\/p>\n
The driver of the suspect vehicle was transported to the hospital for possible broken bones, the post stated.<\/p>\n
Renton police said “drugs may have been a factor.”<\/p>\n
The suspect driver is not the registered owner of the vehicle. The police department’s Facebook post stated, it is possible this is an unreported stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n
At the time of the updated Facebook post, police were unable to confirm if the vehicle was stolen.<\/p>\n
The Renton police responded to a Facebook comment around 10:30 a.m. and reported the vehicle was stolen. They made contact with the registered owner.<\/p>\n
Around 10:30 a.m. the road was reopened to traffic.<\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing and more information will be provided when it becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
