UPDATE: ‘Rescue extrication’ callout for Junction crash; quickly downsized

12:03 PM: Seattle Fire has a “rescue extrication” response headed for 40th/Alaska. … SFD says it’s a two-car collision with one person reported trapped. Updates to come.

12:08 PM: SFD and SPD say everyone’s out safely so they are reducing the response to just one unit.

12:13 PM: Added photo from our crew. In the eastbound outside lane of SW Alaska by B of A/Whole Foods. No injuries reported.

    I literally just heard sirens as I was clicking over to the blog, and WSB already has the news. Amazing.

      Ultimately sort of a “never mind,” but any “rescue extrication” initial dispatch in a busy area in the middle of the day will draw attention, so we do our best. My partner was on an errand in The Junction, too, so made it over quickly for a firsthand look.

Sorry, comment time is over.
