What was the pedestrian doing in the roadway?/ Why was she? Serious inquiry, I'm not trying to make excuses for anyone driving under the influence, especially felony hit and run. My prayers 🙏 go out to all involved, or to those it may concern.

Hope she is ok. And no one should be victim blaming. She could have been crossing the street. I know from personal experience I was in a crosswalk crossing the street when someone hit me 6 yrs ago. My youngest son was also in a crosswalk when he got hit as well. Luckily we both walked away with just scratches and bruises. Some aren't so lucky.

Chuck Hoffert well it sounds like you are victim blaming- where does it say she was in the road way? She could have been on the sidewalk, at a cross walk...

Wow, how sad. Homeless or not, flopping or not, crossing the street? a human being was struck by a car. God's grace for the drunk driver. Maybe it's time for his lesson to change. Hope the woman recovers, and receives the help she needs.

Thank you YPD and first responders for the great work. Stay safe..

All the camera they don't get away always caught

Good work YPD

Was she in the street?

Prayers for healing and recovery 💕✨️🙏✨️💕

I'll bet flock was used to solve this case.

That list of charges, and yet so many people are blaming the pedestrian because the incident happened near the mission ....

Hemmis rivers is his name

Sorry to see this and to think some folks think this will be prevented by dropping legal limits from .08 to .05

What is the victim name

.

That’s like the 37th pedestrian run over in a year

Seems to be a weekly thing lately, Both the vehicle vs. pedestrian and the person in the vehicle leaving the scene. Sad how it seems like nobody cares anymore. I can’t imagine hitting anyone and just driving off.

This has happened so many times in Yakima. Sheesh. It’s dangerous out there

Love and Prayers

Well in that area they all just flop in the street. Grant shame on the driver so leaving the scene and driving drunk.

Why aren't you concerned about the lady that got hit by a drunk driver I can tell you why I'm assuming she was a homeless person I don't care if she was she did not deserve to get hit like she did and a drunk driver can't drive correctly he was probably going in and out of consciousness his damn self

Why are you worried if she was in the street or not a drunk driver hit her and she's in serious condition a lot of people are so disrespectful and disgusting if she was in the street or not a drunk driver hit her and if she doesn't make it he's going to be in jail for vehicular homicide

When will start taking the vehicles away from these people with duties and no license? Good job YPD for locating the POS.

Probably a homeless Tweaker would be my guess as to whom got hit and it’s pretty sad that I have to say it like that but last year one walked right out into the road right in that area and I stopped to let him continue passing through and instead of him, passing through, he leaned himself up against my vehicle, almost as if I had hit him which I did not, and he looked at me and gave me a dirty look and told me to watch where I was driving, and I had witnesses in my vehicle with me that even told him to watch where he was walking Not to mention the vehicle that was beside me that also seen this happen so yeah, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s sad that it comes to that type of a situation though 

Not just that section. Every time I drive at night I say aloud 'does no one wear white at night anymore?'.

Prayers for the people involved

People needs to slow down and pay attention before making your vehicle go even if the pedestrian is jay walking you definitely don’t want that on your conscience especially having to add it to regrets in life

Prayers for all involved 🙏🕯️🙏

Sad but not surprised

Sending healing vibes

prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Who pays for the ladder truck to come

Some people are just Hella rude.... this is someone's family members...... please be mindful when commenting..... PRAYERS TO ALL INVOLVED

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Drive up and down 1rst street every day had people walk right out in front of me without even looking 4 cars

Omg the hate in these comments is crazy!!Who are we to make assumptions, we do not know this person! Prayers and healing this persons way! 🙏🏽

Weekly now

People making fun of stuff in here is just pathetic.

HANG UP and DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right in front of the mission. That’s no surprise…. I watched a younger gal one morning balance walk around the curbing of the planter like it was a schoolyard playground. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Gotta watch out, they step out in front of you and don’t look behind themselves and don’t use the crosswalk

Wow it was a hit and run by a drunk driver but everyone assumed it was the pedestrians fault. My faith in humanity dwindles a little more each day…

They actually believe that the pedestrian has the right of way and they can cross anywhere and cars have to stop for them

Nope they're like ac/DC back black they dont want to be seen

Please tell us who the pedestrian is when you can. TIA

FYI I’m in the recovery program at YUGM and people need to stop talking shit. It was an older lady who was hit. Who doesn’t smoke meth. Stop talking shit about homeless people. If you ain’t experienced it you don’t know shit.

I'm a mail carrier that has had to help children cross 5th ave. Even after they put up the NEW CROSS WALK. Fucking stupid! I have also been almost hit by a chick in a mini van on N 6th ave and also another vehicle when I was totally half way across the street.
