Seattle police said they seized a handgun and hundreds of pills after a woman crashed her car into a house in the Sand Point neighborhood.

Shortly before 3 a.m. Thursday, neighbors called police and reported that someone had crashed into a tree in the 11700 block of Sand Point Way Northeast.

When officers arrived, they found the driver had hit a light pole, two mailboxes, a house and three vehicles. They arrested a woman who was seen running from the crashed car.

According to one officer’s report, a “huge bag” of about 400 oxycodone pills were found on the suspect. Officers said they also found a handgun in the woman’s car.

She was booked into the King County Jail.
