CLEARVIEW — At least a dozen cars went off the road along a short, icy stretch of 180th Street SE early Tuesday morning.

Firefighters arrived at the intersection of 87th Avenue SE and 180th Street SE shortly before 6 a.m., according to the Fire District 7 press release.

Reports came in about a two-car collision. A person was said to be trapped in a car.

Upon arrival, firefighters found that an additional 10 or so cars had slid into the ditch.

Emergency responders believe that only one of the cars had been involved in a high-speed collision, FD 7 spokeswoman Heather Chadwick said.

The driver of that car was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.

No one else was injured.
