Puget Sound firefighters freed two people from a car after Monday night’s winds slammed a tree on top of the vehicle.
This happened in Maple Valley just west of the Cedar River, in the Maple Heights-Lake Desire area.
Puget Sound Fire posted photos of the response to social media, showing firefighters building a crib box to support the tree and using hydraulic jacks to get the car loose.
Crews were able to extract one person quickly but it took firefighters more than an hour to pry open the car and free the second person trapped inside.
Both were injured and were rushed to local hospitals.
