LYNNWOOD — A man and two children were injured Friday night after a car drove off I-5 near Lynnwood.

Their injuries aren’t believed to be life-threatening, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis said Sunday.

The crash happened just before 7 p.m. The man, 33, of Mountlake Terrace, was northbound in a 2001 Cadillac DeVille. It’s unknown why the car left the road, Francis said. There’s no indication other vehicles were involved.

“It’s still under investigation,” Francis said.

Two girls in the car, ages 6 and 9, were taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The older girl was believed to have broken bones, Francis said. The man also was taken to Harborview as a precaution.

Crews from Lynnwood, Fire District 1 and Shoreline helped rescue the three from the vehicle, which was found in a ditch.
