A 77-year-old man died after being trapped inside a car that plunged 12 feet from a parking structure in Queen Anne, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) confirmed.

At approximately 9 a.m. Sunday, SPD and Seattle Fire responded to reports of a car that had gone over a cement parking bumper and landed upside down on a patio of an apartment complex near 1st Avenue Northeast and Valley Street in Queen Anne.

Crews found a man trapped inside his car, a Subaru Outback, and rescued him from the car. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he died from the injuries he suffered.

SPD is investigating what led up to the incident, and what caused the vehicle to go over the cement parking bumper and land upside down.
