(Added: Photo sent by Jessie McClurg)

9:33 PM: SPD and SFD are responding to a report of a flipped-car crash in the Westwood Village parking lot near QFC and Rite Aid. The car is described as a “blue Hyundai sedan.” One person is reportedly trapped, one ejected, per dispatch. Updates to come.

9:39 PM: The flipped car is described as “in the bushes” and firefighters told dispatch that one person is indeed in the vehicle – they’re working to cut that one out – one outside. Neither is believed to have life-threatening injuries, in early assessment.

9:47 PM: Added a reader photo just sent. Firefighter have told dispatch they’ve gotten the trapped person out of the car (further described as a Hyundai Sonata). SFD describes both injured people as in stable condition.

ADDED SUNDAY MORNING: SFD tells us the 56-year-old woman rescued from the vehicle was taken to a hospital; the other injured person, a 43-year-old woman, did not need that level of treatment.

    You are so fast!!! The emergency vehicles are still screaming past on 35th and you already have the news we can use! I hope folks are OK.

      Sounds so far like no life-threatening injuries. I don’t have info on what medical condition officers blame the crash on but photographer Tim Durkan at the scene says it appears the driver was going the wrong way through the drive-thru, hit the rock embankment, and flipped the car.

    Oh wow! I thought from the photo maybe it came from the street above and rolled down the embankment.  Maybe more will be revealed later. Thanks for the quick reporting!

    I was hit and turns out I broke left femur and tibia and extremely banged up. I still can’t walk yet. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
