Northgate Fatality Follow-up

There’s an update to a pedestrian fatality near Northgate Mall last summer. The Seattle police are charging Scott Caudel with vehicular homicide. Apparently, the driver was going 52 mph in a 30 mph zone and was looking at his phone/gps when he struck and killed a legally blind 91 year old man crossing near the intersection of 5th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 97th Street.

There’s more info available at The Seattle Times:

There are a lot of rather heated comments at the Times too…
