The Seattle Fire Department quickly responded to a multiple vehicle accident in the 3900 block of California Ave SW shortly after 10 p.m. on April 19.
A witness told the Herald that two cars were traveling Northbound on California Ave SW at a high rate of speed when a white car passed another car, fishtailed, and lost control sliding across the center lane and slammed into a parked car on the shoulder, completely flipping it onto the sidewalk.
Two young men that were in the white car got out after the crash, one grabbed a dog that was in the back seat and loaded the dog into the other vehicle that was with them and told them to take off. The two men then took off themselves, leaving the woman trapped inside. The female victim was extricated from the vehicle by Seattle Fire using the Jaws of Life and then was transported to Harborview Medical Center in stable condition.
Seattle Police are searching for the two males who fled the scene and gave a description white males with white or light colored T-shirts, one in shorts, one in pants, both late teens, early 20s, slender build, about 6′ tall.
Seattle Police called for the Traffic Collision Investigation Squad, so California Ave SW will be closed at the accident scene for quite some time while they investigate.
