Vancouver, WA : No injuries in guardrail crash on I-5 near-freeway speeds Wednesday morning, January 25, 2017
A driver walked away without any apparent injury after her car slammed into the edge of a guardrail at near-freeway speeds Wednesday morning on Interstate 5.
Firefighters and law enforcement were called to a rollover crash on Interstate 5 northbound at Exit 11 shortly before noon.
Clark County Fire & Rescue Division Chief Tim Dawdy said they found that an older Cadillac sedan had slammed into the end of a guardrail.
“The guardrail crumpled and the car rolled over,” Dawdy said, but the 31-year-old driver had no apparent injuries.
Although paramedics urged her to get checked on, she declined medical attention, he said.
That she came out so well after hitting a guardrail speaks to “really great engineering,” Dawdy said, and the fact she was wearing her seat belt.
“It was just amazing to see,” he said.
The Washington State Patrol was investigating the crash.
