The crash happened in the 1400 block of Northwest Carkeek Park Road. Crews with Seattle Fire Department were dispatched to the scene shortly after.

While the circumstances of the accident remain under investigation, KOMO News observed that heavy rain in the region created slick road conditions. The man was driving in the area when his vehicle collided with a tree, leaving him trapped.
