At 9:23 p.m. this evening (Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011), we received a tip from a woman who identified herself as “Heidi” about a car crash on Green Lake Way near the Green Lake Pitch and Putt golf course.
Heidi reported that both directions of Green Lake Way N were closed to traffic due to the incident, which involved two cars that crashed head-on.
9-1-1 dispatch records confirm that a fire engine was sent to 5700 East Green Lake Way N at 9:06 p.m. Another fire engine and a medic were dispatched six minutes later.
As of 9:39 p.m., the incident has not been closed by emergency dispatch.
We’ll update this post with more information as it becomes available.
Update, 10:50 p.m. Seattle Fire Department spokesperson Kyle Moore confirms that two cars hit head-on. One patient is in stable condition after being transported to Harborview Medical Center with a hip injury. According to Moore, a second patient may have been transported by an American Medical Response (AMR) ambulance. If so, Moore says, this patient likely had minor injuries.
