Car Accidents

Via police scanner traffic:
A man was taken to St. Joseph hospital after a crash into a ditch in the 5900 block of Noon Road on Saturday evening, June 30.
About 6:45, the man called 911 to report he was trapped inside the vehicle. Nobody else was inside. The crash was described as a rollover.
When firefighters arrived the driver was still trapped, so they pulled him out and transported him to the hospital. Sounded like the most serious injury was to one of his arms.

In other police scanner news, a driver almost crashed into a deputy’s patrol car about 7:40 p.m. near Sudden Valley’s Gate 3.
The suspect then “fled” — not sure if that meant fled by driving off, or fled by getting out and running away. Either way, deputies were setting up a perimeter.

8:15 a.m. Couple arguing for about an hour on Graveline Road — I think. (The location was muffled.) A neighbor believed they might be throwing rocks at each other.
9 a.m. An 88-year-old woman found unconscious in the living room of the Louisa House, 2240 Main St., in Ferndale.
10:30 a.m. Honda Prelude and a Subaru collided on an Interstate 5 overpass at Meridian Street, in a northbound lane. First reported as an injury crash. A few minutes later, a responder said via radio to dispatch: ”Can you advise (the fire department)? This is just minor neck pain.”
11:30 a.m. Man and woman pushing each other, hitting each other in the parking lot of Diego’s, 300 N. Samish Way. The woman tried to walk away, but the man was holding on to her. Sounds like police were able to talk with them in front of the nearby Cascade Motor Inn.

About 7:30 a.m., police responded to a report of domestic violence where a man threw a knife at another man. The suspect then ran to the nearby Shell Station at 3970 Meridian St. He was apparently mad because he thought the assault victim and a woman had stolen money from him. Police were canvassing the area looking for him, but I don’t see him listed in the jail roster yet. Didn’t sound like the victim was badly hurt. We’ll try to get a full story on this later.
Update 2:11 p.m. Thursday: Turns out this was a “he said, she said” situation, said Bellingham police spokesman Mark Young. No arrests were made.
8 a.m.-ish, firefighters responded to a fire alarm in the roaster room of the Golden Nut Company, 1555 Odell St., in Blaine. Sounded like it didn’t turn into anything major.
About 9:30 a.m., a witness reported a semi truck hit a power pole at the intersection of Alabama and Woburn streets, then drove away. The driver’s Mount Baker Highway-based trucking company is now (9:32 a.m.) trying to get a hold of the driver, hoping to get him to return to the scene.
About the same time a man in his 40s was spotted wandering down Birchwood Avenue in a hospital gown. Didn’t hear a followup explaining the situation.
And in non-scanner notes, nothing suspicious in the death investigation listed yesterday on the Bellingham Police log, police spokesman Mark Young said this morning. Here’s the case number:

Checked with Harborview again this morning about Carter Norsby, the 7-year-old boy who survived a deadly crash last week on East Pole Road, near Everson.
