Tips sought in State Route 109 hit-and-run

Washington State Patrol detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle and driver involved in an injury hit-and-run collision on State Route 109 near Ocean City Monday night.

According to the State Patrol, Michael P. Faigenblum, 31, of Seattle, was riding a bicycle on the shoulder of State Route 109 near Burrows Road the evening of June 21, when he was struck from behind by an unknown passenger car.
