A Tragic Loss
KINGSTON
Authorities have identified the man killed in a Thursday night hit-and-run accident as Virgil P. Haag.
The 86-year-old Haag, of Kingston, was killed after being struck by a car near the 23400 block of Jefferson Point Road while he was walking near his home.
Sheriff’s deputies said a passerby found Haag, who was wearing dark clothes, on the shoulder of the northbound lane along with broken glass and other debris.
Late Thursday night, 39-year-old Darcy R. Cary turned herself in to a deputy at the Kingston sheriff’s office, where she was arrested. She told deputies that she thought she had hit a deer before allegedly leaving the scene.
Deputies found a “large amount” of blood and “body tissue” on her car, according to their statement of probable cause.
Cary appeared in Kitsap County Superior Court on Friday and was charged with felony hit-and-run. After being held overnight in the Kitsap County jail, she paid her $25,000 bail and was in street clothes for her arraignment.
At Cary’s arraignment, prosecutors asked Superior Court Judge Sally Olsen that part of Cary not be allowed to drive a car as a condition of being released. Olsen agreed to that stipulation.

The man in the article, Virgil P. Haag, was my father-in-law. The past week and a half has been the longest and most unbearable time in my life, and my husbands. We are devastated. I hope that woman who hit Virgil and left him to die rots in hell forever. I will never stop being angry about it all.
