Loving Anne

On Monday afternoon at 2:30PM, Anne was in a very serious accident. She was crossing Sandpoint Way at Princeton to get on the Burke Gilman trail on the way to her 3PM dentist appointment. While crossing the street at the crosswalk, she was hit by a car going approximately 35 mph. She first went onto the hood of the car, then the street after the car slammed on the brakes. 911 was called and she was rushed to Harborview. There were apparently witnesses as well.

Harborview evaluated her including scans and found she had head trauma, lacerations, and fractures. The biggest concern was her head, and pressure in her brain from bruising. They intubated her and put her on heavy sedation to keep her movements down as part of their measures to keep the pressure in her head at a safe level. They measure the pressure via an intracranial monitor (ICP) in her brain. She is also hooked up to many other machines to measure vitals.

Regarding the accident, I spoke to the responding officer on the phone and have requested the police report, but do not have that yet. The car that hit her remained at the scene…it wasn’t a hit-and-run. I don’t know more info about the driver yet.
