The Aberdeen Police Department has shared an update to an incident first posted on the Grays Harbor Scanner Facebook Page as a public alert. They say that they are still looking for videos of the incident, Witnesses, and the drivers of 2 separate vehicles that hit, and ran over the victim. 

On January 4th, 2023 at approximately 5:13 PM, Aberdeen Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to a report of a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian in the intersection of Simpson Avenue and Scammell. Dispatch advised the subject had been completely run over. 

Aberdeen Police and Fire responded and administered aid to the victim, who was ultimately transported to Grays Harbor Regional Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
