Woman fighting for life after SUV crashes off overpass
SHORELINE, Wash. -- A woman was critically injured when her SUV slid off an I-5 freeway overpass and tumbled to the ground below.
The 39-year-old was driving on NE 145th Street when she crossed the center line, hit the side of the overpass, and rolled over the edge.
Her Jeep Cherokee fell about 20 feet, ending up on its roof.
She was rushed to Harborview Medical Center where officials say she has life-threatening injuries.
Troopers are still investigating what caused her to crash. Despite temperatures in the 20s, they don't believe weather was a factor as the road was dry, but they are also looking into whether the woman suffered a medical problem.
