Friday evening (Nov. 21) just after 5 p.m., there was a terrible, fatal 2-car crash on Ambaum Blvd. SW at SW 154th Street, according to the Burien Police Department.
The crash happened in front of – and into – the “log cabin” on Ambaum near Ronnie’s Market, with one car striking the building. This building has been known to host Alcohol Anonymous and 12-Step meetings.
Word is that the suspected DUI driver survived the crash.
Police closed down the area around the intersection, including Ambaum Blvd. SW, for several hours as they investigated the crash scene.
Jerrod Sessler sent us the following pic, and told us that he witnessed medics work for 20 minutes to cut the victim out with the jaws of life around 5:20 p.m.
That person did not survive.
Here are Tweets sent out by the King County Sheriff’s Office, BurienPD and others:
