Three drivers were injured but there were no fatalities in a motor vehicle incident that took place around 1:45pm just south of 136th SW on Ambaum Boulevard on Wednesday March 2.
The King County Sheriff's office said,
This incident was case #C22007132.
"Three vehicles were involved. Two Hondas and a Ford. One of which caught on fire. All three drivers were injured. Our Major Accident Response and Reconstruction Team is still on scene, but so far no fatalities were reported."
But more compelling and perhaps revealing was the account of eye witness, and well known West Seattle videographer Klem Daniels who said,
"I feel lucky I’m alive right now. About 1:45 this afternoon I was driving between White Center and Burien on SW Ambaum and suddenly a car passes me in the right lane heading South. He was doing at least 60 maybe 70 in a 35, turns his wheel to what looked like a switch of lanes into mine, nearly clips the front of my car, and, because there was a car in front of me and he was going so fast he cuts to the center and keeps going into on coming traffic hitting 2 cars head on which caused his car to erupt in flames. I’m sure there were fatalities because the impact of all 3 cars was so hard, as well, hard to get out of my mind. I pray for everyone involved including the driver who caused this major accident. Why did it happen? Suicide, stroke, heart attack? I don’t know, as well I don’t know if anyone survived. If you hear any details please let me know."
