BREWSTER, Wash. — A tragic series of collisions claimed the life of a 64-year-old pedestrian, identified as Annette Gorr of Brewster, on Saturday night along State Route 97, approximately five miles east of Brewster.
According to the Washington State Patrol (WSP), Gorr was walking in the northbound lane for reasons still under investigation when she was first struck by a northbound vehicle driven by 59-year-old Anselmo Morales-Enriquez. Investigators say Morales-Enriquez attempted to swerve to avoid hitting Gorr but was unable to do so, and the impact caused her to fall and come to rest in the roadway.
After the initial collision, Morales-Enriquez immediately pulled over to the shoulder to assist. Tragically, while Gorr was still in the road, a second northbound vehicle also struck her and fled the scene without stopping.
Moments later, a third vehicle, driven by 22-year-old Jeremy Liberty of Easton, also hit Gorr. Liberty continued driving northbound but was later located by law enforcement.
Emergency responders pronounced Gorr dead at the scene. The Washington State Patrol continues to investigate the incident and is actively searching for the second vehicle involved in the fatal hit-and-run.
Authorities are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has information about the fleeing vehicle to contact the Washington State Patrol. The investigation remains ongoing as officials work to determine the full circumstances surrounding this devastating tragedy.
