A man crossing busy Aurora Avenue North near 145th Street in Shoreline was critically injured Tuesday night after being hit by a white work van that then fled the scene, according to police.
The King County Sheriff’s Office said the man was taken to Harborview Medical Center with injuries that could be life threatening after he was hit while apparently crossing the middle of Aurora at about 8 p.m.
