Seattle Police report a distracted driver collided with two vehicles in the 2300 block of McGilvra Boulevard East on Sunday, which caused her Toyota RAV 4 to flip over on its side.

Seattle firefighters responded to the scene around 7:45 a.m. Sunday, May 27, and the vehicle’s roof was cut off in order to remove the woman, according to Kristin Tinsley with the Seattle Fire Department. She was then transported to Harborview Medical Center in stable condition by AMR.
