AUBURN, Wash. -- A 27-year-old woman is fighting for her life after being hit by a car Thursday evening in Auburn.
Police say the woman, an Auburn resident, had just parked in the 900 block of 1st Street SE and was coming around her car when she was hit.
A 20-year old man was arrested on site. He's facing vehicular assault and possible DUI charges. Police say he hit the woman, then side-swiped her parked car and another car in front of her.
Adam Epps said he witnessed the crash.
"She flew just, like, 30 feet and landed in front of this bike," he said. "(The driver) didn't leave, he stayed and make sure she was going to be okay."
Firefighters from Valley Regional Fire Authority arrived on the scene at 5:45 p.m. and found the woman unconscious in the road. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
Neighbors say the woman teaches fifth grade in the Kent School District.

I was at this terrible accident before medic's arrived, what your reading & hearing is NOT exactly what happened.  This was an accident not a drunken guy out of control, I dont know her or his name but I know that this has effected many families including our nieghborhood. I truely pray that she will be okay & something good comes out of this.   I would really like to know about her condition.
He was high, not drunk.
Any updates on her condition?
This woman is one of the sweetest persons I know! She is LOVED by 1000's of people! She has NEVER done anything wrong to anybody! So loving, caring, giving, smart, funny & the list goes on!. She has an INCREDIBLY close family who she loves with all her heart and would do anything for ANY of them. She is an incredible wife. She married her High School sweetheart in 2006 after dating for years. Stacy married my son, she is my daughter.  Loving thoughts & Prayers to you Stacy, Jason & all the family. I LOVE YOU!
At least this time the driver didn't take off. A pray that she enjoys a full recovery and the driver is appropriately punished.
Such an absolutely sad, horrible and preventable story. I will hope for the best. I also hope her students will be ok as well. One person's actions can affect so many people's lives. Unfortunately, we read stories like this everyday.Â
I have known this girl since she was born. A very loving and active girl. Â Please pray for her recovery, we need more girls like this to teach our kids. She is endless smiles and laughter. Â
Hope they hammer this guy. This poor lady will be living with this idiots poor decision for the rest of her life. He should have to do the same.
How sad. God be with that woman and her family. Relieve her pain and heal her completely. Let justice be served.
