SEATTLE, WA — Seattle Fire medics responded to a two-vehicle wreck Tuesday morning in north Seattle’s Northgate neighborhood, according to KIRO 7 Seattle.

It was not immediately clear what led up to the collision, but the Seattle Fire Department said a passenger car and a dump truck were involved.

Within 25 minutes, crews were able to extricate two people who were left trapped in the wreckage of the car. The vehicle’s roof and doors had to be cut open in order to safely remove the occupants.
