Renton Man Escapes I-5 Crash Without Injury

A Renton man escaped injury during a crash involving three cars and a pedestrian on I-5 late Wenesday night.

Russell Blood, 43, was headed south in his 1993 Ford pickup truck when his car was struck by a 2000 Lexus driven by 37-year-old Bai Ma of Seattle. Ma lost control of her car after she hit a 2001 Mazda, whose driver lost control while trying to take the Michigan Street exit. Neither Ma nor 24-year-old Emily Sikora, who drove the Mazda, were injured. However, a a pedestrian who'd stopped to help was injured.

Arthur Warner, 58, of Auburn stopped his car just south of the crash scene and pulled Sikora from the Mazda before the chain-reaction crash occurred. Warner was taken to Harborview Medical Center for minor injuries, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The incident is still under investigation, but officials suspect that alcohol may have played a role in the crash.
