Surveillance images showed the driver getting out of their car after the collision. They parked, then walked over to the victim, then returned to their car  and sped away. The driver was tall, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and white shoes.

The victim had been knocked out, and was on the ground for 20-30 minutes before regaining consciousness. Police were not able to get a clean picture of the license plate due to poor camera quality.

The other image released is that of a potential witness, NOT anyone wanted for the crime. Anyone with information can call (509)-628-0333. All leads can be confidential.
