Woman wanted in Kitsap County hit-and-run
A woman accused of hitting another woman with her car and speeding off is wanted by Kitsap County deputies.
FOX 13 Seattle spoke with the victim, Denice Noice, a few days after the incident.
"I heard the crunch when she broke my leg," Noice said. "I still hear it today."
The vehicle in the hit-and-run was identified as a silver 2007 Chevrolet Uplander with Washington license BDX-0335. The driver was identified as Smith, who reportedly has no known permanent address.
"She actually came in to wash her clothes," said Happy Laundry manager Amy McLain. "She left her clothes behind. She hasn’t come back."
Smith's vehicle was later found abandoned at a residence on Normandy Drive in Bremerton. However, Smith was not located and remains on the run.
"I wish she would come forward and own up to what she did," said Noice. "I just can’t believe that she left. It’s beyond me that anybody would hit somebody and leave the scene like that."
