No serious injuries – if any. The crash never even required a medic/fire callout (which would usually happen for at least minor injuries).

Was the driver of the red car okay? I can’t imagine how scary that would be if you were the car driver, your fault or not!

I suspect the car owner is going to need new upholstery too. Wow.

That road looks too narrow to be a safe two way street on that curve.

Partly my fault, things have been incredibly busy today in terms of news and I didn’t look closely enough before those went through. Gone now. Thanks for the flag.

Good job to whomever texted the pic; you just saved the owner of the red car any hassels with Xtra Leasing regarding who is liable for the damage to the red car. That picture is surely worth a thousand denials…

WSB,

Duh – it’s the tree’s fault. :-)

That’s always been a big fear of mine going up that hill to SSCC. I always see cars go down the hill and turn to close to the oncoming lane. I hope everyone’s okay :(

There was a huge truck stuck on that curve a week or two ago and SPD was there controlling traffic.

I recognized the road as I live right there. so many accidents in that area and don’t know if co-publisher noticed smashed car next to guardrail that accident is from a few weeks ago early morning crash that someone drove away from. We have lived in the area about 6 years now and there have been about 11 accidents…

Myhood – 18th/Dawson is what we were texted but my co-publisher is just back and confirms, yes, it’s right ON the curve, so I’m updating. Thank you.
