Paulo Rubio Tragically Killed in Everett Hit-and-Run Crash

A 56-year-old man tragically lost his life as the result of a hit-an-run incident in Everett on Sunday.

56-year-old Paulo Rubio was unfortunately killed in a two-vehicle accident last Sunday in Everett. Local law enforcement stated that at approximately 6:13 a.m. local time, Mr. Rubio’s auto was hit by 29-year-old Alejandro Barajas at Madison Street and Evergreen Way in Everett. The tragic incident occurred when, officials added, the 29-year-old operator of the vehicle was driving drunk.

Medics promptly got to the scene of the accident and performed emergency medical procedures. However, the victim was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, law enforcement said. 

DEADLY HIT-AND-RUN DUI ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Everett law enforcement personnel continue to investigate this fatal accident and liability on the part of Barajas seems to be quite clear in this incident as he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision and brazenly bolted from the scene after the crash. 

An independent probe might be needed to uncover other possible factors in the case, such as the results of a lab test to discover the blood-alcohol content of the purportedly drunk driver.
