The van then struck the barrier and rolled onto its side which resulted in the driver sustaining a broken arm and other possible injuries. The semi continued south without stopping. The Seattle Fire Department did an outstanding job extricating the driver and transporting him to Harborview.

The State Patrol is seeking witnesses to the collision along with any identifying information for the semi. Please call the tip line at (425) 401-7741.
