TUKWILA, Wash. — Five days after a scary crash on Interstate 5, Tukwila firefighter Greg Hansen told his frightening story.

It was Saturday at 6 p.m. when he responded to a crash on the interstate. While he was working with the victim of a collision, a second car hit him and sent him approximately 12 feet into the air.

In 2007 Washington state passed a law requiring all vehicles to move over when they see emergency workers at work on the highway. At this point the investigation is ongoing and once the Washington State Patrol determines who is at fault, the driver or drivers will be cited. WSP is hoping anyone who is a witness to the crash will contact them immediately.
