Man run over at least twice, killed in Spanaway drive-through
SPANAWAY, Wash. - Pierce County deputies are investigating a hit-and-run homicide at a drive-thru in Spanaway.
On Saturday at 6:28 p.m., deputies were called to reports of a person hit by a car at a Jack in the Box, located near Mountain Hwy E and 204th St E. Callers said a man was hit by a car and then run over several times.
When first responders arrived, they found the victim – a 68-year-old man – and declared him dead at the scene.
According to friends of the victim, the man's wife was driving the car when the suspect ran into their vehicle. That's when the man got out of the vehicle, and was struck while the wife was nearby.
The suspect fled the scene.
"That’s when the driver turned his wheels and ran over the victim," said Pierce County Sgt. Darren Moss. "At that point – it was one thing to run him over – but he decided to stop and reverse over him again before taking off."
Currently, there is no information on the suspect or suspect vehicle.
Detectives are investigating this as a homicide.
Anyone with information is urged to leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
