B.C. man dies after being struck by pickup truck while on U.S. long-distance run
A Surrey, B.C., man has died after he was hit by a pickup truck while participating in a long-distance run south of the border on Saturday morning. The Washington State Patrol says that Hui Li, 55, died following the collision, which occurred just after 3:30 a.m. PT on Saturday at Whidbey Island, Wash. It came as he was participating in the Ragnar Northwest Passage race, which runs from Blaine, Wash., to Langley on Whidbey Island. The relay race covers a distance of just over 310 kilometres (193.1 miles) over two days. Brad Bulloch, a spokesperson for the Washington State Patrol, said that impairment is not suspected in the crash. "It was eventually determined the pedestrian, or the runner, had stepped out of the designated racing area on the shoulder and into the southbound lane of Highway 20," he told CBC News in an interview. The spokesperson said that cones had been set up to separate runners from vehicles on the highway, though he did not know if there were cones specifically at the spot where the collision occurred. Bulloch said that the driver was co-operative with police, and Li succumbed to his injuries in a Seattle hospital after the crash. The trooper added that his family had been notified of the death.

A Tacoma, Washington, man found a gift-wrapped severed human toe while celebrating Father's Day at a beach with his wife and two small children. While searching the beach at Dash Point State Park for feathers on June 15, Kevin Ewing happened upon a weathered package containing a small pine box that'd been wrapped in green cloth and tied closed with yellow string. Assuming it was a lost Christmas present, Ewing opened it, eventually finding a severed adult human big toe, reported the Federal Way Mirror. 4 The rotting toe is being DNA tested. Washington State Patrol 4 The toe was wrapped in a green rag. Washington State Patrol 'At first, I was very shocked,' Ewing told the Federal Way Mirror of the rotted toe. 'It took me a few minutes to kind of be like, 'Is this what I think it is?' Then, once it dawned on me that that's what it was, I set everything down Nearby, Ewing spotted a dead seagull that appeared to be mutilated. He is unsure if the two are connected. Before bringing the toe to police, he took pictures of his gruesome find, which he shared with the Federal Way Mirror. DNA testing is being performed on the excised appendage to see if the toe can be matched to its owner. 4 The beach at Dash Point State Park at sunset. Washington State Parks 4 Along with the toe, the box contained a feather, grass that had been burned, sage, lavender, and tobacco Washington State Patrol 'You don't expect to find something like that every day, or any day, especially on Father's Day, when you're out with your family,' Ewing said, adding he's glad he found it rather than someone who may have been left traumatized by the experience. Ewing said he now keeps wondering if the toe belonged to a missing person, someone who may have been killed, or some disturbed person who cut it off for reasons unknown. 'Just very odd. The toe definitely did not look like it was amputated. It definitely didn't look like a surgeon had taken it off,' he said. 'It didn't look like a very clean medical cut.'

Mystery after human toe is found in a gift box that was left at a Washington state park
An investigation has been launched in Washington state after a man found a severed human toe inside a gift wrapped box washed up on a beach. Kevin Ewing, from Tacoma, was walking along the shore in Dash Point National Park on Father's Day when he found the box, opened it and made the gruesome discovery. Speaking to KIRO7, Ewing said what he had first thought to be some sort of 'little Christmas package', turned out to be like something out of a horror movie. The Independent has contacted Washington State Patrol, which is leading the investigation, for more information. Ewing described the box as small and square, wrapped in green cloth and tied up with yellow string. Inside, the toe was wrapped in white cloth and had been placed next to a feather, some grass, sage and tobacco. '[I was] kind of sat there in shock for a few seconds,' Ewing told KIRO7. 'It was just very creepy. It's like something you would see in a horror movie.' He added: 'A lot of things are kind of going through my head. It's like, 'where's the rest of the body?'... 'Did this wash in from the tide, from the water?' 'Did somebody you know leave this here intentionally to be found?'' Ewing said he also wondered if the toe had come from a missing or murdered person, or if it had been part of a 'sick game.' He took pictures of the find and alerted a park ranger. WSP said the toe appeared to be from an adult male, reported. The agency also contacted local law enforcement in case the toe matched any of their records. The Independent has contacted the King County Medical Examiner for further details.
