Sister Raising Money For Brother Killed In Seattle Hit-And-Run

SEATTLE, WA - The sister of a man who was killed in a hit-and-run collision in Seattle last week is trying to raise a small amount of money to have her brother cremated. Jessica Lewellen has raised about $1,200 toward the estimated $1,800 she needs for her brother.

David Allen, 29, died last week after he was hit by two cars near the intersection of Sand Point Way and 40th Avenue Northeast near Seattle Children's Hospital. Allen was hit by two different vehicles, and both drivers fled the scene. One driver has surrendered to police, according to KOMO News, but the other is still at large.

"My little brother, David, was killed in a hit-and-run accident on April 30. He would have been 30 on May 16. He was hit by two cars and both cars fled the scene. I am trying to come up with the funding to cremate my brother and spread his ashes where our mother's ashes were spread, and have a small celebration of life for him," Lewellen wrote in her GoFundMe appeal.
