A late-night hit-and-run early Friday, Sept. 23, on North Bend Way caused a series of crashes that damaged seven vehicles and injured some of the occupants.

Around 1:40 a.m., King County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to several accidents about a quarter-mile downhill from the Snoqualmie Casino on North Bend Way.

A ’90s-era Ford Mustang had crashed into a guard rail there sometime earlier in the evening, and the driver, believed to have been intoxicated while leaving the casino, abandoned the wreck.

The debris spread across the 50-mph zone caused another six cars to crash, causing some injuries, but nothing major, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Vehicles were everywhere, reported one deputy, investigating the crash.

Officers have not yet located the man believed to be responsible for the original hit and run accident, but they are investigating.
