A vehicle left the road striking the outside staircase of an apartment in the 22400 block of Benson Road Southeast on Kent’s East Hill.
Puget Sound Fire units Engine 74 and Ladder 74 responded late Monday night to find both the driver and passenger still in the car, according to a Puget Sound Fire media release. They requested South King County Medic One due to the heavy damage to the vehicle.
After being checked by Medic One both patients were sent to a local hospital by Tri-Med ambulance.
Battalion 74 requested a city of Kent building official to determine building safety. They determined the building was safe to occupy but the staircase will have to be replaced. The front window of the apartment was broken and the onsite maintenance staff secured the window.
