BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Hours before a man was struck and killed walking on I-5 in Bellingham, the State Patrol warned him not to.
The 54-year-old pedestrian was hit by two cars Tuesday night near the Iowa Street exit on northbound I-5.
Heather Axtman tells KGMI a state patrol trooper warned him off the freeway earlier, explaining the dangers of walking there and telling him not to return.
The man, who Bellingham Police identified as a transient, did not obey and he was fatally struck hours later.
