UPDATE: Flipped-car crash on Admiral Way

9:59 AM: Apologies that we were’t able to report this in real time – a flipped-car crash toward the top of the Admiral Way hill [map]; thanks to those who sent photos. The log shows one engine responded just before 8 am – the driver was already out, so no “rescue extrication” response was needed. No medic unit dispatched either, indicating no major injuries; we’re following up with SFD for specifics.

(Reader photo, texted)

11:10 AM: SFD tells us its crews checked out a 3-year-old girl and 28-year-old woman, neither seriously hurt.

Seriously, there is a flipped car or car-on-side crash in WS every day…what is going on?

I was just gonna ask the same thing. Is this normal everywhere, or are there invisible one sided ramps only in West Seattle?

We have an excellent hyper-local news source that reports these things even when there isn’t a major injury or a crime associated with them. That’s “what’s going on.”

Speed limit on that hill is 25, folks! Every time I drive through there, I look forward to being a pace car, slowing down everyone who hasn’t made the transition from bridge to neighborhood speeds.
