One of the two people hit by a motorcycle at a busy Seattle intersection last Friday has died from her injuries.
On Wednesday, Seattle police released photos taken by a Metro bus, showing what they described as a 1988-1999 Honda Goldwing GL1500.
Seattle police say 57-year-old Min Huang and her husband were hit by a motorcyclist at the intersection of South Alaska Street and Martin King Junior Way last Friday. Police say the driver kept going south after hitting both Huang and her husband.
“So this is a very, very tragic update in this investigation,” said Detective Eric Munoz with the Seattle Police Department.
Police say there is little to no information on the suspected motorcyclist or their location. Detective Munoz says investigators have been combing through all sorts of surveillance video to see if they can positively identify who is responsible.
“But right now, part of that investigation is identifying who this person is, who the owner of the vehicle is, and who the driver of it is. That is the number one key component of this investigation. Without this, we just don’t have anything,” Detective Munoz said.
KIRO 7 spoke with Huang’s family about the update from Seattle Police.
“I think that it was a very important clue to find,” Lizzy Chen, Huang’s daughter, said.
Chen says her mother was truly a one-of-a-kind person who did more than just take off their family.
“She’s very hard-working, positive. She’s a very nice person,” Chen said.
Chen and her family have shared flyers with businesses near the crosswalk, hoping that someone may know something. Chen hopes that by staying active with the case, they’ll be able to raise awareness about how reckless drivers can be in that specific area.
“There are so many reckless drivers in the city and I believe that if I don’t stand up and speak about my experience, there will be more reckless drivers,” Chen said.
She hopes that these new photos of the motorcyclist will lead to an arrest soon.
“I would say you destroyed my family,” Chen said referring to the motorcyclist. “And you deserve punishment. So, please go to the police,” she continued.
Anyone with any information on the motorcyclist is urged to call SPD’s Traffic Collision Investigation Squad at 206-684-8923.
