Candi emails this morning: “Do you know why 15th Avenue Northeast was closed at 5:30 a.m. today (around Northeast 98th Street)?”
Yes. An accident was called in near that intersection shortly before 5:17 a.m. Two cars were involved, one was overturned. Fears that someone might be trapped inside drew a “heavy rescue” response - 14 vehicles - from Seattle firefighters and paramedics.
It turned out no one was trapped, however, and the incident was downgraded.
Yeah, there was a truck flipped on its side. Our neighbor said he saw a man get out of the truck and run away.
