NEW INFORMATION: Man Jumps On Running Board In Spokane Valley To Catch Possible Hit And Run Suspect

Posted: Updated:

KHQ.COM - The Spokane County Sheriff's Office tells our Kelsey Watts that a gray truck rear ended a black truck near the Walmart on Sprague around 11am on Tuesday.

The passenger in the black truck perceived it as a potential hit and run, so he got out and jumped on the running boards of the gray truck, holding on for a few blocks before the trucks stopped near the Kmart on Sprague & Havana.

The tricky thing is, the incident began in the county and ended in the city, so SCSO took the lead from Spokane Police, so there was a little bit of confusion in regards to re-interviewing witnesses.

As of 11:30 am, the man who had jumped on the running boards was loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher, but was awake and talking. No citations or arrests have been made at this time.

Meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements to calculate the energy released during the storm's life span of almost an hour.
