A woman was hit by a car along Lake Washington Boulevard
in
Renton Saturday morning and for a while, no one knew who
she was.
A man saw the story about the accident on KING-5, and
realized that was his mom, Rosalind Hall.
“If it wasn’t for the name, it could’ve been anybody that
this happened to. It just happened to be my mom,” Alex
Stratton told KING-5.
Hall was knocked about 15 feet, deep into a blackberry
patch. Passersby stopped and cleared a path to her so that
medics could rescue her.
She’s now at Harborview Medical Center in stable
condition. Stratton said she broke both her arms and both
legs.
KING-5 reports the driver who allegedly hit Hall was
arrested and booked into King County Jail. Police say he
was likely under the influence.
Stratton said he believes the kindness of the passersby
saved his mom’s life.
