Federal Way police have closed a road where a woman was found seriously injured in the roadway on Thursday afternoon.

Police were dispatched at 1:34 p.m. to a subject down in the roadway on 16th Avenue South, just south of Todd Beamer High School, according to Federal Way police Commander Kurt Schwan.

The victim is described as a female in her early to mid-20s and is not believed to be a student, Schwan said.

“At this time it is unclear as to how the female sustained her injuries, as there is no evidence that a collision occurred,” Schwan said in an email.

The woman was transported Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.

Federal Way police are on scene investigating the incident.
