At The Scene Of The Crime
Tonight, while driving home from my girlfriend’s house, I decided to turn on my frequency scanner to listen in on what might be happening around Pierce County. For the most part there was silence, nothing big going on for a Wednesday night, until a call of a car accident on Day Island, less than 5 minutes away from my house. I decided to check it out considering I didn’t have much else to do.
As soon as I pulled up, I saw that the car was burning in the front, flames at least 5 feet high. But the car was not just out in the open, it was front first into a house just over the bridge. This definitely sparked my interest and I turned right around to drive home so I could grab my camera and drive back out. I ended up staying at the accident scene for quite a while and took photographs, spoke with a gentleman named Tim who lives in the house, a University Place Sheriff’s Deputy and also spoke with Rick Price of KIRO 7 TV News and his videographer.
Long story short, the driver ran from the scene and was captured a short while later. A second passenger was rushed off to the hospital for internal bleeding (as far as I heard). And a third passenger was left at the scene speaking with University Place Sheriff’s Deputies. The fire was extinguished before I was able to return to take photographs, but I ended up with a few good shots of the action.
KIRO TV Channel 7 will most likely air today, Thursday the 9th of April, a story about the crash. And as soon as I edit this, it shows up.
