A car accident in Kirkland this morning caused a man to be stuck in his vehicle near the intersection of 5th Avenue South and State Street. The multiple car collision caused his truck to roll on a residential street early this morning around 2:30.
The truck hit at least three cars before rolling onto its side.
Firefighters cut off the top of the truck to get the driver out. It was reported that he was conscious when he was rescued.
Neighbors said the crash was very loud.
Davis Law Group hopes for a full recovery for the man.
