Chef and mother of six dies after Spokane hit-and-run collision
Smaah Adam, a 46-year-old chef and mother of six, died after being struck by a vehicle in Spokane, Washington, on Monday evening. Police believe a black SUV was involved and left the scene; the investigation matters to her family and community as no suspect has yet been identified.
Adam worked at the nonprofit Feast World Kitchen for more than five years after moving from Egypt to the United States over a decade ago. Three of her children took part in the organisation’s programme, and it is raising donations for funeral costs and support for the children.
