Follow-up: naked driver causes power outage in Shoreline

A 24 year old woman was driving the vehicle that collided with a utility pole around 1am Friday morning near the corner of NE 155th and 1st Ave NE in Shoreline. This is the intersection by Twin Ponds Park and virtually in front of Shoreline Fire Station 65.

Sergeant Klein of the Shoreline Police was on patrol in the Twin Ponds parking lot, heard the crash and was on the scene immediately. Shoreline Fire responded immediately. When they arrived, the car was draped in wires and the naked driver was unresponsive, going in and out of consciousness.

Although her injuries did not appear severe, she was transported to Harborview. A blood test was taken there which will be sent to the state crime lab for analysis.

The driver's city of residence is Tacoma.

Power was knocked out to over 4000 customers for several hours until City Light crews were able to repair the damage.

According to Shoreline Police, the Aegis facility on 1st Avenue NE had to call out their emergency staff due to the power outage for patients needing oxygen and other electronic monitoring.
