• E Madison pedestrian hit: Police say a pedestrian suffered serious injuries after being struck by a driver late Thursday night on E Madison near the busy 17th Ave intersection home to the Shell station and the neighborhood’s Trader Joe’s. Seattle Fire was called to the scene around 11:18 PM where the person struck was reported down, unconscious, and bleeding from the head. Seattle Fire says the 50-year-old man was taken to Harborview in critical condition. According to SPD’s brief on the incident, the driver of the white Jeep Wrangler remained at the scene of the collision and did not show signs of impairment. Police say the person who was hit was “jaywalking” and the driver told them he could not see the pedestrian “crossing in the dark until the last second.” Speed limits on E Madison are 25 MPH — the limit used on most arterials and streets across the city.
