CHIMACUM — The Washington State Patrol is attempting to locate a 39-year-old Chimacum woman whom they allege rear-ended a car Tuesday night and then fled the scene on foot.
Jeanette Mead allegedly was driving a Ford Windstar at around 6:45 p.m. eastbound on Four Corners Road near its intersection with Highway 20 when she rear-ended a Ford Focus driven by Janice Stone, 69, of Port Townsend, according to Trooper Russ Winger, a department spokesman.
Mead then fled the scene on foot, Winger said.
Stone suffered some minor injuries and was transported to Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale and then released, Winger said.
Mead had an expired license, Winger said.
Upon examination, troopers discovered that Mead’s car was equipped with an interlock device and a camera, Winger said.
The car was impounded and taken to the State Patrol facility in Port Angeles, where troopers are seeking a warrant for its inspection, Winger said.
Stone’s car was transported to All City Towing in Port Townsend.
Troopers attempted unsuccessfully to find Mead at her listed address.
Anyone who has information about the case is asked to call 360-473-0113.
