UPDATE: Rescue response for crash at Olson/Cambridge

3:49 PM: Seattle Fire is sending a sizable “rescue” response to a crash reported at Olson Place/Cambridge Place [map]. More to come.

4:05 PM: Just arriving in the area. Police have Olson blocked at Roxbury.

4:14 PM: Added a photo of one of the two cars involved – the other is on the road itself. We are told one person is being taken to the hospital. While the east/northbound lanes remain closed, one lane is open coming uphill (south/westbound).

    WOW there sure have been a lot of car crashes lately!

    Hope no one was hurt to badly but people you need to slow down on these wet slick roads, you’ll still get to where you’re going.

    We got to the hill just after the accident.  The car not pictured was in the middle of the road and appeared to have smoke coming from it, the other looked like it disintegrated in the road (looks better from the angle in the picture).  Someone stopped to direct the traffic there around it while waiting for police.  Really bad accident.  Hope everyone will be okay.

      I’ll be adding a photo of the other car. The only person taken to the hospital was taken by AMR (which you’ll see in the other photo), rather than either of the medic units originally dispatched, which indicates that his injuries were not life-threatening.

Sorry, comment time is over.
