Police are searching for the suspect in two hit and run accidents in Seattle Thursday morning.

Police were responding to a call of a hit and run on Alaskan Way involving a maroon pickup truck when they got word of another accident in Belltown.

The suspect apparently fled on foot from the second crash site at Western and Vine, leaving two passengers in the truck.

The two passengers suffered minor injuries, as did the driver of a van that was involved in the second crash. All three were transported to Harborview Medical Center.

Police tried to locate the suspect, but he remains at large.

KIRO Reporter Tim Haeck contributed to this report.
