When an SUV crashed into a utility pole and caught fire in Shoreline, Patch user Dan O’Shea saw it and captured images before emergency responders arrived.

The crash early Friday, June 21, also knocked down two street signs, and left the driver with non-life-threatening injuries, according to KOMO News.

Alcohol and excessive speed appeared to be factors in the crash on Westminster Way North near Greenwood Avenue North, the station reported.
