Another Officer Killed in the Line of Driving

All that traffic in Queen Anne this morning is because Elliott Avenue is closed, and Elliott Avenue is closed because some late dumbshit stole a car, sped through a red light without his lights on, and broadsided a recently hired Seattle cop on her way to work, killing her. From the P-I:

The 30-year-old officer, the second rookie in Seattle to die in a traffic accident in three months, spent five years at another law enforcement agency, was hired by the city a few months ago and had been working for about a week in the East Precinct, Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said.

The driver of the stolen car is dead also, and a passenger is at Harborview.

Two months ago today, another Seattle cop was killed by a reckless driver.
