RV or Not to Be: A Hit-and-Run in Skyway Raises Eyebrows

In a scene that feels all too familiar on the road these days, King County authorities are on the hunt for a missing RV following a tragic hit-and-run in the Skyway neighborhood. It’s hard to believe that a recreational vehicle—often associated with family vacations and road trips—has now turned into a wanted vehicle. Imagine pulling off what you think is a simple getaway, but instead, you’re facing a community on high alert.

The details surrounding the incident are just gut-wrenching. A resident alerted deputies when they saw someone pinned under a vehicle, only for responders to arrive too late. The victim, sadly, died at the scene, and just like that, a driver fled into the night—talk about a road trip gone horribly wrong. Investigators have identified the RV as a 1999 white Royal Classic motorhome, heavily damaged on the passenger side, with Washington license plates CTB9603.

As they urge citizens to be on the lookout, one can’t help but wonder: where did that RV driver think they could hide? Driving a battered motorhome is not exactly a low-profile escape plan. If you do happen to spot it, authorities are asking for a 911 call, turning this search for a vehicle into one of those ‘you won’t believe what happened next’ stories. What do you think goes through someone’s mind when they choose to flee instead of taking responsibility?

Sometimes, it feels like every vehicle out there seems to have a story—some inspiring, and some just tragic. It’s a reminder that the roads are full of surprises, and often not the good kind. Let’s just hope this RV driver finds the right path before making a wrong turn again!
