Authorities identified 22-year-old Jordan Shelley as the man who lost his life following a suspected DUI crash Tuesday in Seattle.
As per the initial information, the fatal two-vehicle accident took place at about 4:40 a.m. on southbound Interstate 5, south of Northeast 45th Street. The preliminary reports showed that the Mazda driven by Shelley had stalled at the Ship Canal Bridge when a Toyota crashed into the vehicle. The impact caused Shelley to fall off the bridge and down into the water below the bridge.
Both cars came to a stop on their roofs. Officials detained the 22-year-old Toyota driver on suspicion of DUI. Meanwhile, the Seattle Fire Department searched around docks and under the bridge to find the victim. The rescuers ultimately found Shelley’s body at around 9 in the morning. No further details are available.
An investigation is ongoing.
