Don J. Foster struck and killed by multiple hit-and-run drivers on Mission Ave. in Spokane.
No crosswalk at site of fatal hit-and-run.
The intersection where a 55-year-old man was struck by multiple drivers and killed Sunday is known to be unfriendly to pedestrians, but there are no immediate plans for improvements.
Don J. Foster suffered injuries to his head, chest, arms and legs in the hit-and-run accident that happened just before 9 p.m. Sunday. The medical examiner ruled the death an accident. A witness told police Foster was walking south across Mission Avenue on the east side of a bridge spanning the Spokane River when he was first hit. Investigators are still looking for a tan or gold SUV that is believed to be the first vehicle that struck Foster. The force of that impact sent him into the westbound lanes where he was hit at least twice more. Investigators still haven’t found the motorists who struck Foster. Those who witnessed the accident or have any information are asked to contact Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest at (800) 222-8477. A cash reward is being offered for fruitful tips.
