The King County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify a vehicle reportedly involved in a hit-and-run crash June 16 just east of Kent in unincorporated King County.

The vehicle is a white or cream 2007 to 2014 Cadillac Escalade, according to a Sheriff’s Office press release. The Sheriff’s Office released a photo of the suspect’s vehicle.

Detectives have determined the vehicle in question has a missing or damaged driver’s side mirror. The Escalade is missing a front plate, has six spoke chrome rims, chrome running boards and a roof rack. Detectives used evidence at the scene and video surveillance to determine the type of car.

The car reportedly hit a pedestrian at about 7:17 a.m. June 16 near Southeast 200th Street and 148th Avenue SE near Lake Youngs, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The pedestrian continues to be hospitalized with injuries.
