Seattle, WA (November 26, 2025) – A tragic collision on southbound I-5 near the Yesler Way exit early Wednesday morning, November 26, left one man dead and another injured, according to the Washington State Patrol (WSP). The crash was reported shortly after dawn, prompting troopers and emergency medical personnel to respond to reports of a vehicle striking a pedestrian.
