12:13 PM: Big “heavy rescue” callout headed to Olson/Myers – avoid the area for a while. We’re en route to find out more.
12:24 PM: Just arrived in the area – car flipped in outside downhill lane. SFD still on scene. No major injuries reported; no other vehicles involved. Traffic is getting by both ways. This happened atop the exit to NB 99/509 but vehicles are getting around.
12:37 PM: Photos added.
Yeah saw the big helicopter and car flipped over. It was frightening looking. Warm thoughts to all involved.
The helicopter didn’t have anything to do with the crash – it’s from the drill at Terminal 5, which is where we were when we got word of the crash – then over on Myers, we noticed the helicopter we had just seen leaving T-5 was hovering over the Joint Training Facility off Myers – made perfect sense since the drill was led by Seattle Fire, and they run the JTF, though it’s used by many other agencies, often including aerial training. – TR
Is this a common area for accidents? I feel like I’ve read quite a few past reports about Myers Olson.
Sorry, comment time is over.
