Officers and medics responded to the scene, in the 1500 block of Lakeside Avenue South, at around 11:30 p.m. after receiving reports of a pedestrian being run over by a car, said Detective Mark Jamieson of the Seattle police.
The pedestrian, a 40-year-old man, was found trapped beneath a Mazda sedan. Firefighters were able to free the man and medics began CPR at the scene, but the man was later pronounced dead. No other information was available about him.
