A Washington state mother of four was killed in a crash earlier this month, and her family is looking for answers.
Gina Blatchford, 35, was struck and killed while walking along Interstate 5 on the morning of Oct. 4, according to reports from KING 5, FOX 13 and HeraldNet.
Authorities do not have a description of the vehicle that hit Blatchford, but her family hopes information will come forward that will lead to justice.
“I feel like this is a high traffic area and somebody had to see something,” Blatchford’s cousin Jenny Rabang told FOX 13.
Rabang also urged the person who hit Blatchford to come forward, the paper said.
“You have to apply, because I don’t know how anyone could live with this and drive away,” Rabang said. “I don’t even know how many people drove up and didn’t say anything and didn’t stop. It’s heartbreaking. It’s heartless.”
Blatchford’s “close sister” Danika Hatch told KING 5 she wonders why “someone wouldn’t stop” after she was hit.

“Anyone with the above information is asked to call Detective Daniel Comnick at 360-529-7367,” a spokesperson for Washington State Patrol District 7 told KING 5. “We appreciate your assistance as we work to locate the suspect and the suspect vehicle.”
Blatchford had four children: a 17-year-old, a 15-year-old, an 11-year-old and a 5-year-old, KING 5 reported.
Blatchford’s family started a GoFundMe to raise money for a reward to find who hit her.
“Her children, her parents, her siblings and many friends and family members are looking for answers and would greatly appreciate your donations and spreading the word,” the fundraiser wrote.
