Two elderly women sitting inside a smoking area in the parking lot of a senior living community were killed when a transport van “unintentionally backed into” the structure Monday morning, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
Seattle police spokesperson Brian Pritchard said the crash happened just before 10:30 a.m. in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Alder Street, in Seattle’s Yesler Terrace neighborhood. The Seattle Fire Department estimated the victims to be about 70 and 80 years old. Both were declared dead at the scene.
The SPD said the vehicle struck the two women while reversing, killing them. A third woman was also there and narrowly escaped the crash. She was not hurt.
