Shoreline woman crashes truck, sets house on fire

The Seattle Times is reporting two unusual incidents involving the same Shoreline woman, which took place this morning.

The woman was apparently driving her truck on N.W. 196th in Richmond Beach when she ran it into a rock wall. A male passenger suffered head injuries when he was ejected from the truck, but the woman was not injured.

When medics arrived, she told them that she had attempted to set her house on 27th Avenue N.W., blocks away from the crash, on fire. They alerted the fire department, who did find evidence that there had been an attempt to set a fire, but it wasn't successful.

Not surprisingly, the woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
