Late Tuesday night a car lost control at Fremont Place North and 35th Street North and crashed into the north side of 9 Million Unmarked Bills, a cocktail bar in Fremont.

The crash occurred at approximately 10 p.m. Bystanders reported on reddit that a White Toyota Camry lost control, hit a tree and swiped the side of the building before coming to a stop. Seattle Police Department confirmed the reports from reddit.

“It wasn't until a tree stopped him that the car stopped moving. There were no additional injuries aside from the man who was then pulled out on a stretcher,” reported a bystander.

An employee reported on Reddit that she was exiting the bar through the front door as the accident occurred.

“The driver was conscious when we went over, a man in what looked to be late 50s or so. No smell of alcohol, but I can't be sure. It could have been much much worse, because at any given time there are usually a couple people standing outside smoking, and there weren't at the time.”

SPD reported that the 60-year-old driver had not been drinking alcohol during the incident. They could not confirm if the driver was using cannabis or other substances.

Seattle Fire Department treated the man for minor injuries at the scene.

“It is amazing no one was hurt as a group had just come in from smoking on the patio and the chances that no one was walking on the sidewalk at that moment on a busy street were rare,” a witness said.

Nathan Rezac, owner of 9 Million Unmarked Bills, told the Ballard News-Tribune that he was not there during the incident but rushed to the bar as soon as he heard the news. When he arrived the car was still there.

“It’s unfortunate something like this happened, but we are just glad everyone was okay,” said Rezac.

Rezac said that the crash took out tables, chairs and a railing along the side of the building. He estimated the damages to be near $40,000.
