Road closure in LFP for investigation

NE 162nd St in Lake Forest Park was closed between 36th Ave NE and 37th Ave NE, for about an hour this afternoon while police investigated an accident.

Around 4:30pm Thursday, Lake Forest Park police were called to an injury accident being handled by Northshore Fire.

When they arrived they learned that a person doing tree removal had fallen from a bucket truck onto the roadway and sustained what appeared to be serious injuries.

Capt. Paul Armbrust said that "Out of an abundance of caution we closed the road and I had detectives respond to take statements from those on scene, along with photo documentation."

The victim was transported to the hospital and his condition is not known.
