A perplexing automobile crash scene brought a huge Seattle Fire response to the hills of E Union Sunday afternoon.

Seattle Fire rushed to the intersection of 31st and Union around 1 PM Sunday to a report that a car had crashed into the upper level of a home, leaving the car’s occupant trapped inside.

The dramatic 911 call soon revealed a slower-speed event.

The vehicle was found crashed against the house from a parking area on the residential street above the home that left the car’s occupant stuck inside the vehicle as it remained suspended about five or six feet off the ground.

Seattle Fire said its crews were able to safely extricate the woman, adding that she was in stable condition and did not require transportation to a hospital.

The circumstances of the crash were being investigated.

Despite the car’s impact from falling from parking area above, there was not significant structural damage to the house, Seattle Fire reports.
