UPDATE: Another West Seattle car-on-side crash

| Arbor Heights | West Seattle news

7:14 PM: Thanks to JC for the photo. For the second consecutive day, emergency responders have been called to a car-on-side crash in West Seattle. This one was at 41st/100th in Arbor Heights around 5 pm. It initially drew a “rescue extrication” callout, but that was downsized so quickly, we missed the dispatch. Archived audio indicates two vehicles were involved, a Toyota 4Runner and Nissan Maxima. No medic unit dispatched, which indicates no major injuries, but we’re checking with SFD to be sure.

8:16 PM: SFD tells us the vehicle that went onto its side had one person inside who got out by themselves and “declined medical attention.”

9:44 PM: A commenter has posted this link to home-security video showing the collision.

WSB Can you see if SPD or SFD can offer their thoughts on what’s involved with these vehicles coming to rest on their sides Anything unique or just random

  Great vid. Can clearly see the small car ran the stop sign.

  Derp. Brown car didn’t even SLOW at the stop sign. In my best Jeff Foxworthy voice, “Here’s your sign.” Glad he didn’t run away, at least. Hope all are ok.

Thanks for reporting this. There is a ton of oil left on the roadway. I called the Spill Response Program and they said that they sent an inspector after the accident and that they will send a sweeper tonight to do more cleanup.

The Nest video shows that that the sedan ran the stop sign. The jeep hit the sedan and then careened off the chainlink fence which pitched it onto its side.

4Runner.

No chain link fence there, it is wood. Probably the massive drainage ditch contributed to the rollover. SDOT Levy money, or Healthy Street funds, could be better used to pipe & cover the massive ditches in Arbor Heights area.

Always a good idea to stop at stop signs

People FLY through these intersections all over Arbor Heights. Please slow down and take your time! Better to be safe than totaled.

That white car’s owner is going to be very grateful for that Nest footage. Hopefully the at-fault is insured.

Clearly the fault is the sedan running the stop sign BUT the white SUV was driving much faster than the posted 25mph speed limit on 100th & that played a major factor in the rollover. You put yourself & others at serious risk when you drive 10+mph over the posted speed limit, not to mention the financial risk if you caused the accident.

Amazing how you can gauge someone’s speed through home camera footage like this and then scold the person who was just t-boned!

When someone doesn’t stop at a stop sign, they put themselves and others at serious risk, not to mention the financial risk if they caused the accident.
