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.
