Written by Dear Council,
In case someone asks you what happened at City Hall last night (Friday), I’ll try to give you a little detail. Shortly before 5:30 p.m., a woman apparently driving northbound on Benson Road apparently lost control of her car, struck the freeway retaining wall on the eastside of the road and careened across the southbound lanes, went airborn, struck a tree that was about 10 to 15 feet above the ground, and slammed sideways into parking garage wall, coming to a rest at the P2 level close to where I park my car. The impact snapped off the tree, which had a diameter of at least 10 inches, at the point of impact.
Our fire fighters worked for nearly 30 minutes to safely remove her from the car and get her up the bank. She was conscious at the scene but the extent of her injuries are not known.

How drunk was she?
Thank you for the information
I was wondering what the tow trucks were there for. I must of went by after she was extracted from her vehicle.

We over here in North Renton didn’t even hear about this – thank you for keeping us posted about things in the community. Just happened onto your blog today – a new follower on my own little blog about Renton, http://thepicaroon.blogspot.com, turned me on to your’s. So glad to have another resource for local news – thanks!
Wow, that’s quite a crash! One of those where if I saw it in a movie, I’d say it was fake and overdramatic.
