SEATTLE — Seattle Police say they arrested a 33-year-old man Saturday night after he reportedly hit and killed a pedestrian in the Interbay neighborhood.

Police say someone called 911 just before 11 p.m. to report that a driver had hit a man near the intersection of 15th Ave W and Gilman Drive W. The man was declared dead at the scene, KOMO-TV reported.

Detectives say the 33-year-old was driving northbound on 15th Ave W at a high rate of speed when he passed another vehicle, lost control, and drove onto the sidewalk, hitting and killing the man.

The driver remained on the scene and was processed for a DUI and booked into the King County Jail for investigation of vehicular homicide, according to police.
