On Thursday, May 23, 2024, a deadly car crash occurred in downtown Seattle when a truck collided with a taxi cab at the intersection of 4th Avenue South and South Washington Street. Firefighters on the scene had to disentangle the passengers of the taxicab, as the car was severely crushed.
Three of the passengers in the taxi were 70-year-old women who needed immediate medical treatment for their severe injuries. After being transported to the hospital, devastatingly, one of the women passed away from her injuries. A male passenger and the cab driver were transported to the hospital in stable condition.
Detectives with the Traffic Collision Investigative Squad reported to the scene of the crash to understand how it happened. Following their investigation, the driver of the truck, who had sustained only minor injuries, was arrested for vehicular homicide.
