EVERETT — A multi-vehicle crash left one person in critical condition and snarled the evening commute Wednesday on 41st Street in Everett.

Around 3:50 p.m. Wednesday, Everett officers responded to a report of a crash involving two passenger cars, a semi truck and a box truck on 41st Street, between Colby Avenue and Rucker Avenue, according to an Everett Fire Department post on social media.

Dash cam footage shared with The Daily Herald shows a westbound Amazon semi and a box truck driving next to each other on 41st Street. In the five-second footage, a white car drives south past the box truck at high speed before striking the semi, sliding underneath.

At least one person was transported to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

Grace Schellenberger was sitting nearby when the white car blew past her.

“It was terrifying,” Schellenberger wrote in an email to The Herald on Thursday. “I ran to the car after and the man was unconscious, he had a lot of blood on him so we did not touch him since moving him could cause further injuries.”

As of Thursday, a driver of one of the passenger cars was still in the hospital in critical condition, according to the Everett Fire Department.

Police closed 41st Street closed for about 3½ hours for an investigation.
