Hit-And-Run Victim Asking For Help
A north Spokane woman is asking the community for its help in locating the driver of a car she believes totalled her automobile in a hit-and-run collision in front of her house last month.
Donna Tissue’s 1983 Nissan Sentra was totalled sometime after 9 p.m. on Feb. 24 in front of her home at 224 W. Carlisle.
Tissue didn’t see or hear the crash, but two of her neighbors who were outside at the time heard a loud crash and saw a car drive away from Tissue’s mangled vehicle.
“It was a car they said they had seen in the neighborhood before,” Tissue said. “The driver lived just two blocks away from me.”
Tissue’s initial report to the police didn’t have a description of the vehicle that night.
But the next day, neighbors Don Pillers and Ron Robinson told her they saw a green Buick Skylark with a white top and Washington license plates 633-CMH back away from her vehicle after they heard the crash.
“We didn’t see it make contact,” Pillars said. “But we saw it pull off her car and it went into the driveway of a house just down the block. We got the license plate number after the car parked.”
For the past three weeks, Tissue watched a white male she described as 5-foot-8 with a thin build drive up and down her street in the Buick.
She said the Buick’s driver lived at 2528 N. Calispel but, on March 14, Tissue said she saw the man and his family move out of the house.
Tissue is asking anyone with information about the driver of the vehicle to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
Fire at General Fire
The Spokane Fire Department extinguished a small fire on March 18 at a business that provides supplies for the department itself.
Fire fighters responded to a call at 4:27 p.m. at General Fire and Equipment at 4004 E. Trent. Workers in the building discovered an office on fire and notified the department, said fire department official George Dietrich.
Crews contained the blaze to the one office. The fire started when combustible supplies near a heater ignited.
Damage was limited to office furniture and files. No one was injured in the blaze.
