A brutal hit and run in Seattle’s University District sends a man to the ICU.
The crash left Angel Ojeda sprawled on the ground unconscious and fighting for his life, with broken bones all over his body.
Ojeda is a little person and his family says that makes his recovery even more complicated. They were in the U-District over the weekend, putting up flyers in hopes of finding answers. Ojeda is now awake in the ICU at Harborview Medical Center and spoke with KIRO 7 from his hospital bed via FaceTime on Monday.
“I’m alive!” Ojeda said. He doesn’t remember what happened but his family says he was meeting up with some friends to see a local band play at the Kraken Bar and Lounge on Friday. He’s a WSU grad and Seattle resident.Seattle police are still looking for the driver but couldn’t confirm the description of the vehicle on Monday.
“Broken femur, fractured pelvis, broken ribs, broken clavicle, broken eye socket,” said his sister, Mayra Ojeda. “It’s such an unfortunate circumstance that he was literally left on the street to fend for himself. And that’s horrible.”
