Seattle, WA (April 1, 2025) - Injuries were reported as the result of a traffic accident in Seattle on April 1. Shortly after 8:30 p.m., multiple responders were dispatched to the scene of the incident on Greenwood Avenue. The right southbound lane of the road was blocked just north of North 112th Street due to the accident and the presence of emergency crews.
At least one individual was hurt in the accident that took place under circumstances that remain unclear and under police investigation at this time. Those with serious injuries received treatment from EMS at the scene before being taken to area medical facilities for further evaluation and care. At this time, police in Seattle are working to determine the cause of the crash.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims as we hope for their swift recovery.
Auto accidents are not uncommon in the United States, occurring over 17,000 times per day. More than 7,500 people are hurt in these crashes each day, while over 100 end up losing their lives due to the nature of their injuries. In Washington, tens of thousands are hurt per year in car accidents while hundreds more lose their lives.
Sadly, most of the auto accidents in the US today are the result of negligent driving. Dangerous driver behavior, like intoxication and distraction, are among the leading types of negligent driving seen. In one recent year, over 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving accidents.
Driver negligence is extremely dangerous and can even turn out to be deadly. Millions of Americans suffer injuries in crashes caused by negligent drivers every year. Speeding, for example, took the lives of over 11,000 people in 2022, while intoxication claimed the lives of approximately 12,000 that same year. Overall, driver negligence is behind more than 70% of the national accident fatality rate.
Individuals who are hurt in negligently caused accidents often end up in the hospital with painful injuries that can change their lives forever. On top of this, they may face devastating financial losses related to their accidents. If you or someone you love finds themselves in such a situation, you should consider working with a skilled car crash attorney who can help you recover.
