Officer Daniel Strassenberg Public Information Office

Friday, August 30, 2024 at 1:35 p.m.

On August 30th, 2024 at 11am SPD responded to the area of 3rd and Wall in Downtown Spokane on a vehicle versus pedestrian collision.  911 was advised that the involved vehicle fled the scene.  Medics responded to the location and began life saving measures for the injured pedestrian.  Despite those attempts, the victim succumbed to their injuries.

Detectives with SPD’s Major Crimes Unit (MCU) have responded to the location to assist with the investigation.  The area around 3rd and Wall will be closed temporarily to vehicle and pedestrian traffic to allow the scene to be processed.

The name of the deceased will be released at a later time by the Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office.  If you have information about this incident, please contact Crime Check at 509 456-2233.
