A woman was killed shortly before 8 a.m. Monday morning while biking on SW Wildwood Place, an arterial street with a long hill southeast of the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal, West Seattle Blog reported.
Our condolences to her friends and family.
The Seattle Police traffic collision investigations team was on site for a couple hours before the street was reopened, and the incident remains under investigation. Early details from SPD based on a witness statement say that the woman was biking eastbound up the hill on Wildwood when she struck an unoccupied parked car before she was struck by a box truck driver who was passing her. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The 60-year-old driver of the box truck remained at the scene. Photos of the scene from West Seattle Blog show a Vashon Trucking box truck without side guards stopped facing eastbound on Wildwood between 46th and 47th Avenues SW. It remains unclear what led to the woman’s collision with the parked car. Early details are often incomplete, and it usually takes weeks before a traffic investigation report is available…
