Bothell man says he used drugs before deadly hit-and-run, investigators say Investigators say a Bothell man admitted he smoked marijuana four and a half hours before he killed a couple in a hit-and-run crash. New court documents say Alec Gajdos, 27, knew he hit something with his car, but claims he didn’t know what it was. A memorial is growing on Nellis Road where the couple died. There is a cross with the names of the two people who died. Gajdos says he looked, but it was too dark to see what he had hit. Gajdos was taken into custody on Friday afternoon.

Driver suspected of striking, killing two pedestrians in Bothell arrested KIRO 7 News Staff A driver accused of hitting and killing two people in Bothell Friday morning was arrested. The crash happened around 5:30 a.m. on State Route 524, just west of Nellis Road. Troopers said the driver drove off and went to work as if nothing had happened. However, he was arrested when he returned to a 7-11 store less than a mile away from the scene of the crash after work. The man reportedly went to get gas at the store and troopers said, in a sense, he had pulled right into his arrest.
