A 32-year-old Tacoma man was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and DUI after an early morning crash in Puyallup, police said.
Around 2:10 a.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to the 2200 block of South Meridian after a Tacoma man who called 911 reported he had crashed into a vehicle parked in the middle of the road. He also discovered an unresponsive man lying on the ground next to his car.
A Tacoma man tried to resuscitate the man, but he died at the scene, police said.
Police later determined that a Tacoma man hit another man with his car, although they are not sure why the man’s car was stopped in the middle of the road or why he left it.
A 32-year-old woman was also in the car that stopped on the road. She suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital.
