On Wednesday in North Seattle, a King County Metro bus driver lost consciousness at the wheel due to a sudden medical emergency, resulting in a collision with seven cars. One of the passengers took control of the situation, managing to stop the vehicle by applying the brake and moving it out of the roadway, thereby preventing more serious consequences.
The incident occurred at about 11:30 a.m. on the stretch from North 58th to North 80th Street, where traffic was closed for several hours. The 71-year-old bus driver and the 64-year-old passenger who acted heroically were taken to the hospital in stable condition. Two men from the struck city parking truck received medical attention at the scene and did not require hospitalization.
