Man Surrenders In Fatal Accident

A 27-year-old Bellevue man has voluntarily surrendered to authorities in connection with the hitand-run deaths of a couple on a motorcycle, police said.

The driver of the pickup truck had initially fled the accident scene on foot but then turned himself into police. He was arrested for investigation of felony hit and run and motor vehicle homicide.

Killed in the accident Saturday night were David Chad Goss, 22, of Bellevue, and Carol Kathleen Ragan, 29, of Boise.

According to authorities, Goss and Ragan were eastbound on a motorcycle through a residential neighborhood when they slammed into the red pickup truck as it pulled out of a parking lot into the westbound lane.

Ragan was dead at the scene. Goss died at Overlake Hospital Medical Center.

Goss, who grew up in Phoenix, moved to Bellevue a year ago to become an investigator with InPhoto, a Chicago-based company that does surveillance in suspicious worker’s compensation cases.

He met Ragan two months ago while on a business trip to Boise, and the two hit it off, Goss’s roommate, Chris Rogers, said.

Ragan grew up in San Bernardino, Calif., and after getting her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Southern California, she taught first-grade at Monroe Elementary in Boise, her father, James Ragan, said.
