The father of a motorcyclist killed in a tragic hit and run crash in Washington has spoken of his desire to see justice for the female driver  - as it emerged she tried to cover-up evidence of the accident.

Police said that 23-year-old Michael McCurdy was riding his motorcycle in Anacortes when he was struck from behind by 26-year-old Gisela Carmona-Moreno, who called a tow truck to take away her car to be fixed instead of 911.

After watching his son die in hospital, Randy McCurdy said that 'We just hope that justice will prevail and that, God willing at some point in our lives, we can forgive her for taking out son's life.'

McCurdy, who was adopted by his parents as a cocaine-dependent baby, was slowing to avoid a collision on State Route 20 at Fidalgo Bay Road when Carmona-Moreno hit his bike from behind firing him into the path of another oncoming vehicle which killed him.

The driver of the car which struck McCurdy head-on stopped immediately, but Carmona-Moreno sped away from the scene even though the impact of the smash had buckled the hood of her car and caused her licence plate to rip off.

The 26-year-old was apprehended by chance when an officer of Skagit County Sheriff's department spotted a damaged car which matched the description of the vehicle which had fled being towed on a flat-bed truck.

According to police, Carmona-Moreno and her family phoned the truck to take the damaged car away to be repaired, thereby covering up any evidence that she was involved in the fatal smash.

'We believe she knew what happened,' Randy McCurdy said to KOMO News

'She didn't call 911, she left the scene... with basically no regard as to what occurred.'

Facing felony hit and run charges, Carmona-Moreno is currently staying in Skagit County jail where she is being held on a $100,000 bail bond.

'The reasoning she gave us that I can share with you is that she was scared, and that's why she left the scene,' said Leary.

Rushing to his son's bedside at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Randy was at least thankful that he was with his son as he died.

'God knows we had tears in our eyes as we held his hand and watched him take his last breath,' said Randy McCurdy.

Randy McCurdy says his son loved spending time with family and working out.
