MONROE – An 18-year-old Monroe man suffered critical injuries after the car he was driving, a stolen Dodge Neon, crashed Monday.
The rollover crash happened just before 8 p.m. in the 14500 block of Fryelands Boulevard. The driver reportedly lost control of the car, which plowed through a fire hydrant and rolled. Police believe the man was speeding at the time of the crash, Monroe police Cmdr. Jan O’Neil said.
He was taken to Valley General Hospital but later taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. No one else was injured in the crash.
A truck driver hauling a soupy load of fish remains on I-5 was cited by the Washington State Patrol after fish heads reportedly began flying from his truck bed.
The driver told state troopers he was driving north about 7 p.m. Tuesday near 128th Street SW when he slowed down to avoid rear-ending a car. When he hit the brakes, a wave of fish heads and guts sloshed against the front of his truck’s container and splashed onto the highway, Trooper Kirk Rudeen said.
Some of the fishy debris landed on the truck outside the container.
“They were flinging out as the wind caught them,” Rudeen said.
After receiving several calls from drivers, the State Patrol stopped the truck about 18 miles north of Everett. The driver, who was heading to Skagit County, was cited for driving with an uncovered load, Rudeen said.
Police were searching for two men who hit a man in the head with a gun and stole his wallet.
The robbery happened about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday near 57th Avenue and 244th Street SW, Mountlake Terrace police Sgt. Mark Connor said. The man told police the two suspects stopped him on the street and then pointed a gun at him while demanding his wallet.
The man was taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
