Someone had a bad day on 520 in Seattle - LotusTalk

codingparadox · 03-24-2009, 09:24 PM

Saw a wrecked dark red (ardent?) Elise getting loaded onto a flatbed with some major front end damage right at the I-5 and 520 interchange tonight around 7pm on the way home from work. Pouring rain. Anyone we know?

Oh no

Whoever it was, I hope they were okay.

I saw the same thing just as the cop arrived - I believe both parties were alright. The lotus looked pretty bad while the (Honda Civic?) looked like it didn't even get much of a scratch.

The car is designed to protect the occupants - fiberglass is good for this - insurance is good for fixing fiberglass
