ASSIGNMENT/ARRIVAL
On 09/19/2025 at approximately 1408 hours, I was dispatched to a two-vehicle hit and run
attended collision in Parking Lot A of Valley Medical Center, 400 S 43rd Street in the city of
Renton, King County,Washington.
I arrived at approximately 1417 hours.
UNIT 1:TOYOTA CAMRY
Upon arrival I observed a black Toyota Camry(WA/CPZ8674, Unit 1) parked in a parking stall in
Parking Lot A. There was damage to Unit 1's rear passenger bumper(dents and scratches).
UNIT 2: NISSAN ROGUE
I observed a silver Nissan Rogue (WA/CNK0799, Unit 2) unoccupied, parked in a parking stall in
Parking Lot A. There was damage to Unit 2's front passenger bumper(dents and scratches).
Unit 2 was registered to Adja O. Phipps (DOB: 01/01/1977).
DRIVER 1: KWAN, HERBERT H.
I contacted Herbert H. Kwan (DOB: 12/25/1952) near Unit 1. Kwan was the reporting party. Kwan
was positively identified by his valid Washington Driver License and established as the driver of
Unit 1 by his admission. Kwan was not injured in the collision.
DRIVER 2: PHIPPS,ADJA O.
Adja O. Phipps, Unit 2's registered owner,was identified as the driver of Unit 2. Kwan showed

me a photograph of Unit 2's driver on his cell phone,which matched Phipp's Washington
Department of Licensing photograph.
I was unable to locate Phipps inside the hospital. I wasn't able to find a contact phone number
for Phipps. I left my business card with the case number on Unit 2's driver window, clearly
visible.
STATEMENT: KWAN HERBERT H.
I spoke with Kwan about the collision. The following is a summary of our conversation:
Kwan drove Unit 1 in the parking lot of Valley Medical Center. Kwan reversed Unit 1 from a
parking stall. As he reversed, Unit 1's rear passenger bumper collided with Unit 2's front
passenger bumper as it drove in the aisle from south to north behind Unit 1.
Phipps parked Unit 2 in a nearby stall and quickly exited Unit 2. Kwan approached Phipps as she
walked from Unit 2 toward the hospital public entrance. Kwan asked Phipps to exchange
contact and insurance information. Phipps replied something to the effect of, "I don't have time,
I'm in a hurry" and walked away without exchanging any information.
This concluded my conversation with Kwan.
PHOTOGRAPHS
Kwan took photographs of the vehicles and Phipps as she walked through the parking lot. Kwan
uploaded the photographs to Axon's Evidence.com via Axon Community Request.
Kwan's photograph of Phipps was clear enough for me to easily identify her by comparison with
her Washington Department of Licensing photograph.
This incident occurred in the sCity of Renton,King County,Washington State.
!declare underpenalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington that the foregoing is true and correct.

PROBABLE CAUSE
I have probable cause to arrest Phipps for Hit and Run Attended, RCW 46.52.020(2)(a),which
states:
The driver of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting only in damage to a vehicle
which is driven or attended by any person or damage to other property must move the
vehicle as soon as possible off the roadway or freeway main lanes, shoulders, medians,
and adjacent areas to a location on an exit ramp shoulder,the frontage road, the nearest
suitable cross street, or other suitable location.The driver shall remain at the suitable
Location until he or she has fulfilled the requirements of subsection (3) of this section.
Moving the vehicle in no way affects fault for an accident.
Phipps was the driver of a vehicle (Nissan Rogue, Unit 2) involved in an accident resulting only in
damage to a vehicle (Toyota Camry, Unit 1) driven by a person (Herbert H. Kwan) and failed to
remain at the suitable location (private parking lot) until she has fulfilled the requirements of
RCW 46.52.020(3).
However, I am not going to issue Phipps a citation for this violation. I am waiting to conduct
follow up to see if she had a legitimate reason to quickly leave the scene of the collision and
enter the hospital.
DISPOSITION
Please forward to Detective Gorajewski for follow up.
