SEATTLE — A major intersection in Ballard was shut down for hours after a fatal collision involving multiple vehicles.
Several other people were hurt, Seattle police said.
The crash happened at 12:30 a.m. Friday between the Safeway and the Walgreens on 15th and Market. At least four vehicles were involved.
The impact forced one of those vehicles into a Toyota SUV. The pickup hit a traffic control box on the corner of the intersection that knocked out power to the traffic lights in the intersection.
Investigators said it appears that a Mazda pickup ran a red light heading eastbound on Northwest Market Street and collided with a Toyota and a Volvo.
The driver of the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene.
Firefighters had to cut the top off of a vehicle to rescue two people who were trapped inside.
A passenger from the pickup was taken to Harborview. Two other drivers were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
The intersection at the crash scene was closed until 6:30 a.m. because crews had to fix the traffic lights that were knocked out in the crash.
