Man Crashes into Renton Mobile Home, Rescued by Fire Department
A Seattle man in his 50s was extricated from his vehicle after it crashed into a parked mobile home on Rainier Avenue South early Friday afternoon, according to Fire District 20.
The man received minor injuries and was taken to a local trauma center for evaluation, according to Dave Nelson, a spokesman for the fire district, which covers Skyway and West Hill.
The incident occurred at about 1 p.m. in the 11400 block of Rainier Avenue South. The King County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.
The man was extricated with assistance from Renton Fire and Emergency Services. No one was inside the mobile home, which was destroyed.
While this story shows no sign of a potential Renton personal injury claim it demonstrates how one can arise. For example, if there were people inside the mobile home they would be able to file a personal injury claim against this man’s insurance company. He was, according to my source, being negligent and at fault for any damage done. I like to post stories of this nature to remind people they can be financially compensated for injuries caused by another in Washington State.

Renton Taxi Driver Charged in Crash
A Renton taxi driver has been jailed on vehicular homicide charges stemming from a deadly crash near Sea-Tac Airport.
Jailed Thursday following the filing of charges, Stita Taxi driver stands accused of precipitating a deadly crash by cutting across Interstate 5 in a Nov. 18 attempt to reach a Sea-Tac Airport exit.
According to charging documents, the suspect was traveling south on I-5 taking a fare to the airport when he realized his taxicab collided with a Toyota Land Cruiser in a lane to the cab’s right.
The collision caused the SUV to roll, landing on its roof. An oncoming car struck the upended Land Cruiser on the driver’s side door, killing 43-year-old driver David Doerr.
Investigators contend the suspect tried to cut across the lane to reach an exit for state Route 518, which provides access to the airport. the suspect denied doing so, though his passengers said the suspect drove the car over a curb after missing the exit and slammed into the Land Cruiser.
In court documents, State Patrol investigators noted “obvious damage on the taxi from slamming into the curb as well as striking Mr. Doerr’s car.”
The suspect, 36, has been charged with vehicular homicide. He has been jailed on $100,000 bail.
Although the suspect is accused of driving the vehicle in an unsafe manner, investigators found no evidence of alcohol or drug involvement in the crash.
